That's a good way to do it. You can also - install a 'driver' in XP that will let you read ext2/3 Linux partitions (this is safe, since the ext2 format is freely available) -- google for Ext2IFS I think - or you can get read-write access to NTFS partitions in Linux with some risk to your data. I think the FUSE project is currently the safest way to do this. If you want more info, look for fuse-ntfs, or I can try finding the right back-issue of Linux Format which discussed it... You can get read-only access to NTFS partitions in Linux safely -- look in the Ubuntu forums for NTFS, although I think this is configured automatically. > Then if needed I can send a copy of the terminal or editor. > > I have been in the forum for same weeks but find it a bit of a plod to get > answers that way although I do pick up bits and pieces that are real helpful. > Of course its best to get mail that you can read and print out. That's the main problem at the moment. I read somewhere that the person in charge of the Ubuntu documentation is planning to reorganise it as part of the work on Feisty Fawn. I know it's not going to help the forums, but the wiki and help.ubuntu.com (?) are good for reference too, but badly organised.
