This is totally crappy news. I wanted to introduce SchoolOS live USB and many users will be not be able to use it just because of crappy windows. Nilesh, In that case CDFS is better.I think booting section must be with CDFS so that nobody can temper booting process. I am thinking that if it is possible to make 2 partition , then writing linux on CDFS and then mount home directory on other may solve this problem. Yes, it is possible. This is the main difference between how linux & windows treat usb storage. In windows (at least upto xp), it will read only the first primary partition. Others are ignored (there may be some crook way out for that, I don't know). In linux, it's just another hard disk, so you can do with it whatever you can do with an internal hard disk. so, are you saying that if we can make a 8mb partition first , it may solve this problem, -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘ -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
Exactly, you can have a minimal size bootable partition containing a kernel and the initrd.
And the other partition, containing the actual stuff i.e. /, can be formatted with something that windows cannot read- ext, jfs, etc.
The main bootable partition should be cdfs, so that it is not writeable by windows.
