MiNT has had VFAT-support for the last year or so, so there's no need to use minixfs or ext2fs just to have long filenames. All you have to do is to install a recent kernel (mint.prg, 1.15.1 or newer) and enable VFAT by adding the line(s)...
VFAT=A,D,E
...to mint.cnf.
Naturally you have to replace "A,D,E" with a list of the partitions you want to use long filenames on. This will not erase anything, these partitions will still be usable from plain TOS and you will not lose any data. MiNT will also work fine with DOS-partitions (very nice if you have a Zip), and support huge FAT32-partitions.
