Kebabber said- "As of now, there is no practical way of transporting large amounts of data (movies, MP3, etc) to friends, i.e. not possible to use an USB memory stick. My friends uses Windows. Hence, FAT32 drivers or NTFS drivers are needed."
I have some interesting news that will shock and surprise you Kebabber. An OpenSolaris distro called "Belenix" has had the ability to read NTFS and ext3 file systems for a couple of years now. Here are the instructions for porting this Belenix feature to SXDE or OpenSolaris 2008.05 if you want to give it a shot and maybe check to see if there are any bugs or other problems with it: http://ritwikghoshal.blogspot.com/2008/04/today-i-mount-my-ntfs-partitions-in-my.html If you look at the Belenix projects page here: http://www.belenix.org/projects You will see that the projects for reading NTFS and ext3 file systems on Solaris have already been implemented, and they've been implemented by Sun employees in India working on Belenix in their free time outside of Sun. Somehow the live CD feature got ported from Belenix to Indiana but the NTFS read feature didn't. ALL WE NEED TO DO is find a brave soul who is willing to copy and paste what the Belenix developers did over a year and a half ago and add it as a feature in OpenSolaris Indiana. Who is up to the task? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
