"Can you make it nt compatible while you're at it?" <snip> Unfortunately, no. Zipspeak runs on top of vfat partitions using the umsdos filesystem. And Linux only has limited write support for nt partitions currently. Also, it will still use the 2.4 kernel as the umsdos filesystem it depends on has been removed from the kernel as of 2.6.8x I think. No one has fixed it in 2.6, so it has been suspended indefinitely. And yes, zipspeak is open-source. Cheers, Josh
