Of course one would have to have Rockbox firmware (or at least Bootbox) flashed and it would need ntfs-support right out of the flash rom. But that is too hypothetical to ever happen. The NTFS documentation is really bad - see the Linux NTFS efforts: It was easier to wrap around Microsoft Kernel drivers to get NTFS running (Captive NTFS) than to implement from scratch (Linux NTFS kernel driver)... bye Christian _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2005-08-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
