Comment 17 for bug 315710

Being able to install a complex system of binaries off of a file system Linux developers have been told nothing about is a really big step. Read integrity is critical. Already this is moving much faster than NTFS support back in the day when we didn't have that--that took years. And actually, I'd like to see that get better, but that's not this thread.

If there isn't any legal pressure from anywhere over this code, now that we have good read support, it's mostly a matter of reversing the process to enable the ability to write. The code is well structured, with adequate commenting and written entirely in C.
I lack the coding expertise to dive in and turn this out in a hurry so it is a learning experience for me but I am doing the best I can to tackle this. Fortunately I have a large number of USB sticks formatted with exFAT, both blank and with other stuff on them...and worst case, I have access to Vista computers at work to fix whatever I break on the filesystem.

Does anyone know of anyone else working to make this happen? I'd love a mentor on this one.
