Well you could do this... easy) Just use ssh to browse the card. This is how I do it, plus Konqueror actually has a mode where all I need to do is fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/card and I can browse and manipulate it all day till my hearts content. hard) Use network block device so you can actually mount the SD card from over the network and manipulate the card like it was directly attached. Not sure why you would want to do this, but you can. You would have to make sure the nbd driver is on the phone, but it should work exactly as you were requesting. http://nbd.sourceforge.net/ > Then, does it also mean that I have to format the SD card to ext2 in an > external to the Neo, card reader/writer? > Or is it possible to use the default vfat file system on the card? > I have not formatted any of my cards yet, not sure what the card was that came with the neo (I never looked), but the my new 2GB card is vfat and maybe that is why I am having problems with mine... > Just out of curiosity, what issues have you seen with a 2GB card?

I stuck it in and tried to copy a 300+MB file and it failed part of the way through. I have not looked into why yet, but I will soon.
