I've lost track of what kind of computer you are using, but rather than play arround with some weird external box while you are trying to learn Linux and all that, I'd strongly suggest you put a normal internal disk drive in the box, format it with EXT2 or EXT3, and get that to work perfectly. Later on, when everything else works, you can add Samba so your windoze boxes can drag and drop files, or even try to use a heathen format like FAT32. But I'd stay away from anything Windozish until it is totally up, stable, and working great. And I'd probably never use FAT32 on any new box. When I add Windoze boxes, I use NTFS, not FAT32. YMMV, and all that -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
