A small loss, if you ask me :-)
There are a few ways people could try to get this working by also having a small NTFS partition on the stick with some software that would let Windows somehow use the ext3 partition: 1. ext3 filesystem access - several programs http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows 2. coLinux http://www.colinux.org/ 3. Maybe qemu (caroline also expressed interest in QEMU-Puppy type functionality) http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/ -- Daniel JB Clark | http://pobox.com/~dclark _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
