And I concur - I had only introduced Samba to the conversation because I thought you were talking about several computers. If you are dual-booting on one machine, I'd do as above. Note that under windows you can use ext2 -- haven't used it, and don't know how cygwin behaves with it, but it may be *just* what you need to avoid case sensitivity problems and have symlink support. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd http://www.fs-driver.org/ cheers,
