Building on Ken's answer: I used [fuse4x][1] and [fuse-ext2][2] successfully, and I recommend fuse-ext2 over ext4fuse. ext4fuse was a hassle for me, because it requires manual compilation and has no support for fuse4x options that would allow me to set access control. fuse-ext2 provides downloadable packages, and the 0.0.7 version worked just fine. I copied a few large ISOs over without any problem. [1]: http://fuse4x.org/ "fuse4x" [2]: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-ext2/ "fuse-ext2"
