I have an external 2TB HDD I want to install Debian Jessie on my SAM460ex.

I read the install topic, but what file format to format my USB HDD? SFS2 with ulb.dn as boot file?

Two partitions for Linux? If so, how big should they be?

Thanks for any help in advance

@Chris While i do agree with you on all this, it would still feel more professional to have the Uninstall feature to remove unwanted stuffs that have been installed. This feature is starting to become more used in standalone programs now, which is very good. So using this option to quickly remove an...

When installing things on AmigaOS4, you never actually see an Uninstall feature. Would it be a good idea to include an option to Uninstall unwanted stuffs?

It's better to use SFS/02, but for compatbility with more old software and stuffs, one partition can use SFS/00. Like others say, FFS is obsolete. So is JFXS, that is no longer supported. Out of topic, but the many different freeze situations in FE make it quite worrying...Really hope they will be f...
