Has anyone used BL with ANY kernel to access NTFS?

with that you would need a customized kernel i guess, i don't think by
default linux kernels come with ntfs support; mine actually has ntfs
(readonly) access but i'm not sure if mine kernels 2.2.26 or 2.4.31
would work on your motherboard; on the other hand you could just
recompile the source, i think 2.2.16 kernel source has an option for
ntfs

Itwould be nice to have a 2-floppy BL that supports both copying files from an ntfs file system and usb-storage so as to transfer photos directly from a USB camera or memory card reader, and 2.2.16 does not do USB storage, but we could first copy to hard drive with XP andthen networkwith an older ntfs-capable BL.


I tried running a network setup wizard, set XP to share files and printers, and it still complains about a bad connection. it obviously sees the connection (it sets itself to 10 MBit/sec instead of 100MBit/sec, to match my pcmcia card) but tells me the cable is not plugged in. Perhaps it was being discarded by the local school system because of a bad network port, not just the floppy drive with a piece of floppy disk stuck in it.

Can anyone on this list try networking between BL and XP and if it works, report the details?

We have a neighbor who uses Windows and linux. I will ask him for help when we get back from our trip.

The simplest solution to taking digital photos on a trip is a larger memory card so you do not need to download.
