Ubuntu uses a Linux 2.6 kernel, so it has UDF support, thus UDF is "a part of" Ubuntu since the beginning as far as I remember. What else would you want?</blockquote><div> I'm suggesting the integration of the desktop to easily create and make use of the filesystem, because it's possible for a floppy disk to be formatted with UDF, as well as HD and Flash Disks, Currently, udftools must be grabbed from the repository to be able to create udf filesystems, and mounting a UDF disk must require root priviledges to gain read+write permissions. The technology is not yet totally accessible for the users, </div></div> Regards, Joel -- Don't let your future genes deteriorate..
