IIRC, the ISO for TinyCore is all of 10MB, with just enough to get a working Linux instance, and the assumption you'll add your choice of apps after. Puppy's ISO creates a bootable Live CD, and he could boot from that and use GPartEd to diddle partitions. I think it will work over a USB connection to an external drive enclosure. Under Windows, I use Ext2Dsd from http://www.ext2fsd.com, and open source driver that permits read/write access to ext2/3/4 file systems. I have two flavors of Linux on ext4 file systems as well as Win2K on the machine where FreeDOS is installed, and it works just fine. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
