Not sure if this is the right forum, but since there was no general fourm, here goes:

1) Am I to understand that the diffrent versions of NASlite only refer to their boot ability (cd-rom, floppy drive, and usb drive?)

2) The file system is ext2, correct? I've not mixed the linux systems with windows before, will I have any problem using it with NTFS based WinXP boxes? Specfically, will files and their attributes (MP3 tags) copy over with no problems?

3) Is there any way for the os to boot off of a harddisk or partition instead of a cdrom usbdrive or floppy?

4) Only IDE drives are supported, correct?

5) I have seen vague refrences to free versions or trial versions made on the fourms. Where could I get ahold of one of these?

Thanks for any help.

Partly true, however, the floppy versions are a bit more targeted as compared to NASLite+ and NASLite+ for USB. Details on the floppy versions are available at the following URL:

NASLite can act as a file server for any OS regardless of it's local filesystem type. The only requirement is that a common networking protocol can be established. (MP3 tags are contained within the MP3 file itself)

There are some posts that explain possible approaches.

NASLite v1 supports only 4 IDE drives.

See the NASLite link above ;-)
