JUD Screen Shots

Sorry about the poor quality camera shots. I guess I need to learn how to use "User-mode Linux" so I can have JUD running in a window inside of my full size Linux OS so I can get real screen captures of it.

Here is the opening screen showing the top level categories.
Here is the "Status and Reports" menu. These items are handy for hardware diagnostics as well as help figuring how Linux deals with drives, partitions and mounting such things.
Here is the first USB status screen showing info about the USB interface and finally the USB storage device itself (the hard drive).
This screen is where you mount and unmount various drives.
Finally, once everything is detected and mounted, you can browse using this simple clone of the vintage MS-DOS mode Xtree program. You can copy, move, delete, edit, and even play MP3's and play-lists from here. Hint: you use the "L"ogin command to change directories. It's kind of a pain.
When you do play things, here is how it looks.
Check out the primitive way that you adjust the player's equalizer. You edit it with a tiny editor that tries to mimic basic commands from the ancient WordStar word processor as well as classic Unix editors like "vi", "emacs" and "Pico".
If you need to check, partition, or format your Archos' drive, here is where you do it. Currently the user-friendly-ness of this area is very lacking, so be careful about what you are doing before you make an permanent changes!
Linux's "FDISK" program has a lot of options, some of which will be of no concern to Archos users, this isn't even "experts" mode where you can override drive parameters view raw data and such.
Fortunately, many screens also have associated help screens that might help you out. Here is one explaining some options on the Linux "format" program called "mkdosfs".
Finally, for the Unix gurus, here is the Unix shell listing a directory containing the raw "bin-utils" that actually do all the work.
