Here's the situation:
I have an old hard drive with OpenLinux (http://www.theosfiles.com/os_linux/ospg_Linux_Caldera.htm) on it. It was used in a machine at a hotel, with some sort of expensive hotel-type software on it. I need to somehow get this software off the drive and copy it to another one. As you can see from the above link this Linux distro is oooold :cool: It says it supports Ext2 and read/write FAT file systems, so I'm gonna assume this drive is Ext2 formatted to begin with. My basic plan to get the data pff the drive is to:
-Shove the OpenLinux hard drive as well as a blank FAT-formatted drive into my main machine which runs WinXP and Dapper.
-Mount the two drives in Ubuntu (they'll show up right? I'm pretty sure Ext2 and FAT are supported in Ubuntu)
-Copy from the Ext2 drive to the FAT drive.
Is there anything I'm overlooking here? Any suggestions/thoughts?
