Are you asking about tools or structure or what? Tools: Yast works fine Structure: you need fat32/vfat in order to read/write from both linus/windows You can use multiple partitions if you want/must keep the data separate. I use one of these to backup my system. I use BRU to create compressed archives on the drive. Pretty fast that way. Note: There is FUSE ntfs support that allows read/write from linux but it is experimental. I can't think of a better place to experiment than a external drive. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
