i backed up all my files to an ext hdd last month. the ntfs files from the m$ computer are just my photos. i was hoping to 'read' them with my redhat 9 computer in the mountains over this summer, BUT apparently i need to get a tar.gz file or something for RH to read ntfs. :( is there an easier way to do the same thing? like maybe i should re-save them as fat files or something? thanks -- betty i. www.WebCanine.com research & information for people who care for dogs --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
