Setting up ext3 is not something that all but perhaps 10 people here might ever seriously want to do -- I haven't even bothered, and I'm a Linux kernel developer by profession!

That said, the other 2000 or so Empeg owners would probably prefer to retain the extra 150-200KB of RAM for buffering music, not for dead code they'd never use.

I believe that ALL of Hijack's current features together add less than that amount of memory overhead!

Cheers
