I am running a version of ELKS which is a distro that boots off of 2
floppies; a boot and a root disk. I am able to boot into ELKS on my
Nokia 9290 with images of these floppies and an 80186 emulator. The
problem I'm having is this will make the root Linux dive a read only
RAM drive. I should be able to use the boot disk to load the Linux root
off of a fixed disk. Is there any support available for EPOC32 file
system in Linux? Or preferably, is it possible to repartition my flash
card to Linux ext2 file system, or any other supported file system
using p3nfs? I am by no means an expert, and I found 0 documentation on
any of this. I don't even know where to start. If any one else out
there is experimenting with this, please share! THANKS! ...aaron
