Maybe, the unfortunate user is forced by job or circumstances to take those flash drives or SD cards and use them on [*SHUDDER of horror*] Windozes or Rotten Apples? In such cases, fat32 is read by all of them; ext3 or ext4, not. 'Twould be nice if Linux could handle fat32 sometimes without having to format it to a Linux filesystem. :-/ Bill ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
