I'm afraid there is not NTFS or Fat32 filesytem for AROS... only FFS and CD (ISO whatever).

He will have to put whatever data he wants, onto a CD and then boot AROS and pop the other CD in the drive...

So, you are saying I can try other programs from a second CD??? hmm, I have to try that!

Does it automatically see the 2nd CD if I boot with both in their drives? (just to be clear, I have an external DVD/CD drive).


The CD drive has to be on the ATA bus, I doubt any external device would work... it might but it might not.

Can a small partition be made on the harddrive of type FFS? (maybe from a linux CD?)


Yeah, you can make an FFS partition, using Linux, or an Amiga etc... or you could even use the AROS HDtoolBox, but I wouldn't risk my life on it... AROS can see FFS partitions on your HD.
