   I thought I read somewhere that linux systems could use JFS? - that    
   would be the btter way of doing things as fat32 is sooo slow.

   Use DFSee - www.dfsee.com - to format a drive using fat32; you can find    
   some instructions in the FAQ "USB Storage FAQ Introduction" supplied as    
   part of USBcfg help -
