Seems a logical idea to me to automatize this process (create a seperate
FAT partition and putting drivers that don't need installation on it).

Regarding what FAT won't accept as a character: ?
Yeah, no ? in FAT filenames. Not such a special character, is it?
Especially for song-names.
Still, it's not an Ubuntu problem that other computers have poor
filesystem support. And the suggestion of putting the driver on the
stick...well...if
Reading more about the open source NTFS-3G driver,
I have to add that apparently it neither supports change
of file owner nor access rights, so IMHO NTFS is no option
for the Ubuntu user.
On the NTFS-3G home page at http://ntfs-3g.org the first
link in the first paragraph points to NTFS-3G
Thanks for your suggestions. I am sorry to disagree with some of your
points.
So the filename restrictions are a problem that a lot of people are
going to face, and not one that we can do much about in Ubuntu.

I think this is getting needlessly confrontational.
What I mean about the filename restrictions is that people buy drives
formatted as FAT, for all systems. So presumably they are running up
against any filename restrictions regularly, both on Linux and Windows
(and probably Mac OS). However,
As I read in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems,
maximum file size with FAT seems to be restricted to 4 Gibibyte. In my
opinion this is a restriction which excludes FAT as a means of solving
this problem.

Just noted another problem. I am trying to copy data from an Ubuntu
system with an ext3 formatted hard disk drive to a FAT formatted USB
stick. The system refuses to copy the file to the USB stick because it
regards the file name as invalid. Well, it worked ok in ext3. Apparently
FAT simply
Well, FAT is what most USB sticks come pre-formatted as, as far as I'm
aware. So the filename restrictions are a problem that a lot of people
are going to face, and not one that we can do much about in Ubuntu.
If you want to back up an entire system, I suggest you put the files

AFAIK ext3 is Ubuntu default.
AFAIK USB sticks can be formatted ext2 only, but I might be wrong here.

No, there is no option in Nautilus. I would think many people use
gparted, since it is part of the standard installation.

Potential wishlist item.
I suspect that the easiest way to get a cross platform USB stick is
simply to format with something like FAT. That may be a sensible default
for some things.
