Ditto.  I am using a A3000UX as a file server for an AmigaDos network, and
the filename length restriction makes installing many Commercial software
packages a real pain.  Is it safe to use a UFS system under 1.1 for this
purpose?  Is it possible to mount an AmigaDos partition under Unix for this
purpose?  If either is safe, can someone give me fairly simple (I'm a Unix
idiot...) directions on how to set it up?

Thanks much,
