 Add ext2/3 file system to your FAT/NTFS file systems
Subject description: Linux mountable sparse file |
|
This might be something useful to add to the standard Puppy toolkit. The following will create a sparse file that can be mounted to give Puppy access to an ext2 file system. Note: The sparse file in this example is 16GB but uses very little space on the partition where it is stored. Of course, as you add files to the mounted sparse file it will grow. I use this only for a scratch area when I need to do thinks that require a Linux file system, IE.. tar, make links etc. Just add it to your rc.local and it will always be available. It could also be used as a scratch area in the discussion in this thread.
