Common solution to that is FAT32, but also pretty much everything (including windows! http://www.fs-driver.org/ ) can read ext2/3 disks - though I had some problems with fsck of an ext2 disk after it was mounted (or formatted) with linux. So, that's some other solution too ;) Though, no, I have NO idea how that is to the endianness of a machine. > Thanks! > > Igor. -- viq
