Well, I want some thumb drives with free and open filesystems that can be used everywhere. We'll tackle *BЅDs once we have windows working :). ltools looks interesting. http://www.it.fht-esslingen.de/~zimmerma/software/ltools.html http://www.it.fht-esslingen.de/~zimmerma/software/ltools/ltools.html Like ext2ifs ltools has read-write perms. Most of the other tools I found seem to be read-only. I'm not sure if ltools uses a kernel module. I don't see mention of one. That gives me hope that it can be used directly from the USB drive without being installed. It worries me about performance, but I'm not too worried about that for now. ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ # When I work, I work hard.
