FAT32 is not an option for me - most of my drives are 400GB+ and all contain FLAC audio from which my SB3 is served. My ultimate intention is not to dual boot at all. I have been wanting to rid myself of Windows for a very long time but found myself married to some MS apps and the Linux desktop & apps left a lot to be desired in user interface terms (in my first foray into Linux text based cut and paste wasn't a reality yet). Throw in hardware compatibility/driver issues and the transition never seemed quite doable without severe compromise/pain. As an interim measure I'd like to be able to dual boot and store my data on ext3 writeable from either OS. As I become comfortable with Linux replacements and/or Crossover/Wine workarounds for my most used apps I'll eventually kill the w2k3 partition and transfer all data to ext3 partitions. There will be some network based transfer. -- egd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26144 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
