Yes, sort of. FATxx filesystems are easily accessed by Linux, both in read and write mode NTFS filesystems are easily accessed in read mode, but write mode is not supported unless you use the "Filesystem in USErspace" NTFS drivers. > Thanks      |

That way if one goes down I can fall back on the other. Until the one that has failed is fixed, it could be a simple gui faliure in Linux or a problem with windows, both have openoffice.org installed, so this works well for me. -- DCLUG Meeting date SATURDAY 17th March 2007 10am - 4pm - The old Monastery, Berry Road, Paignon http://www.myspace.com/theoldmonastery http://www.zleap.net http://www.openoffice.org http://www.linux.org -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GIT d S: a C+++ UL++++ P+ L++ W++ N+ W--- O!
