No. EFS is not a very complex filesystem, roughly as complex as for example UFS. However later PROMs also know about XFS I think and that's the trivial case. Anyway, as afair the EFS CDROMs are partitioned like disks a bootloader there could also be made to contain something like libext2fs and boot the rest of a ext2 on the CDROM. ISOfs if you have a nice library to use for that. Ralf
