It is in this case because of Ubuntu's target population and the fact
the NTFS / FAT32 are not native Linux file formats. By all means allow

The problem is that it doesn't have a list, there are multiple lists and
they aren't documented.
NTFS will reject some filenames, win16/win32/win64/.net/etc. will reject

AFAIK wubi installs Ubuntu into a file containing an ext3 partition.

Exactly. And then Ubuntu will happily let you create files that you
can't read in Windows. It's weird.
It just ocurred to me that when you email files, odds are the receiver is using
Windows. Perhaps all t

I keep a copy of my working files in an usb pen.
But clearly this issue can be seen as a limitation of the FAT filesystem,
just not yet imposed at the highest level of the filesystem driver (kernel
or userland)?
Surely ext3 *would* allow a slash in a filename (i guess?), if the userland
tools would just let the filesystem driver ever receive suc

Hi,
Please review the ticket:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayerplug-in/+bug/137993
The question is whether or not the mplayerplug-in package should Depend on each
and every browser package that supports it. The problem with this approach, of
course, is that if one such browser i
Saying that I must install a browser to install mplayer-plugin is like
saying you I must install an MP3 player to install an mp3 library.
I spotted an argument that it won't be uninstalled when the last
browser is uninstalled. How is that handled for libraries?
