I do think I'll try to boot my desktop from it. I don't think the laptop will boot from it, but the desktop just might.

The DamnSmall FTP site has a floppy .img that I have used to successfully bootstrap and hand off to a USB jumpdrive.

I'm wondering if it's possible to download the pictures from my camera directly onto the disk. Probably not, I think I have a USB connector to connect to the camera, but that's to plug into a PC with. It's an older digital. A 1.2MP Canon. Takes quite nice pix. Good lenses and capturing. Excellent colors and resolution.

Nope, need a PC for that unless you get some new fancy dancy camera w/ the feature. The ones with SD/MMC flash memory cards can be put directly into certain printers that will print w/out a PC. I was looking at some big screen TVs lately that also had SD flash and Sony Memstick slots to view pictures w/out a PC. For those you could bank on needing the unencrypted fat16 filesystem as they come form the factory. At least until world domination is achieved.
