RE: [newbie] Mounting linux files from windows?
On which machine? From another machine running Windows on a Network, yes. From Windows itself on a machine with a Linux boot partition? There are some tools floating around for accessing EXT2 partitions under Windows, but they are way behind the kernel... Worst case VMWARE or WINE... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of kaab kaoutar Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2001 8:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Mounting linux files from windows?

Re: [newbie] Mounting linux files from windows?
In my experience no. Windows uses a vfat32 disk format and linux uses ext2 type format. Windows can not read that file format. Don --- kaab kaoutar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

Bill Gates did not include such a utility :=), but John Newbiggin has made ext2fs explorer. So have a look at: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ Best regards Herman Jalink [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] Mounting linux files from windows?
However, there are Windows programs that allow you to read ext2 filesystems. Check tucows.com or downloads.com. Dave On Sunday 06 May 2001 08:38, thus spake D. Hoyem: In my experience no.
