Linux on FAT32?

[Mini-Me]

Hi there.

Before you Linux gurus roast me here, I have seen certain distros that allow you to install Linux on the existing FAT32 partition, without re-partitioning and re-formatting the drive to ext2/ext3.

Does Linux run happily on FAT32?

I thought that part of the whole concept of Linux, was it's famed filesystem?

Can some of you Linux gurus explain if installing on a FAT32 partition is possible, and if so, why would you want to do it?

Thanks!
:)

I believe the answer is yes.
No NTFS for Linux.

I find that facinating!
:eek:

I always thought that ext2/ext3 was the root(pardon the pun) filesystem for any Linux kernel...
