I think that UMSDOS is probably the best option for cases like this. It will allow you to assign permissions to files, which is absolutely required for certain software to work. SSH, fetchmail, and PGP are examples that I can think of off-hand. If their config files do not have specific permissions, they'll abort for security purposes. UMSDOS is an option under the filesystems section of a kernel configuration. Other than that, I don't know much about it. I used it ages ago to install an old Slackware distribution on top of a windows system. It worked fine, and the Linux files were visible in Windows. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBN8A87odCcpBjGWoFAQH1kAP9ETkQ7JsxLjPQMmeS5h1+zWinELpDvfZL PGS5fn/LCNtHi8StGJj/PmgeMM9RJ1vRhgNm8nLYepNT+plzvd6pqOHGXLERzw0f wgxm7i33tvMS3QYIzvxLz4xvlynYquH8wXYKdIcYQ0X1XOhbPUqv7LHBBQiHaG8U g+nC4GadJNs= =bnpX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
