   Ditto.  If I were doing another tri-boot I'd have a large FAT32 
partition separate from the three OS partitions.  If you're still using NT 
(ugh) you'd have to stick w/ FAT16 for the shared space, though.
   I have heard of drivers for Windows to access ext2, but I don't know 
that they're any more stable than the Linux NTFS driver.
