I was under the impression that Mac OS X has trouble writing to ext2/3 and that Debian has trouble writing to hfs+ At least, that's what I understood when I partitioned my drive. So I have a 2GB partition sitting between my 2 OS, which is still hfs+ Should I convert it to vfat? Something else? tx in advance. -josh n. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
