24 Dec 11
I highly recommend against trying to install any Linux based distro in a FAt or NTFS partition because those filesystems do not support linux permissions. Instead you should consider having designated linux partitions using EXt4 or whatever linux based fs you wish to use then having a windows formatted partition to share files.

there are so many Windows and Mac based application that will show/read 'ext' based partions with out any problem. Try to use native Linux partion for Linux. Use the previously mentioned application to read/copy files to NTFS, when you are in Windows/Mac

Well as I take it I can mkfs to create a FAT partition or NTFS? For me it was logged as ROOT weaves, then that is typed cfdisk instead I have to type in mkfs? Please Reply
