Did you install the package dosfstools from apt? I don't think it is installed in a default debian install and that has all the extras needed to mount fat32. I don't think mount cares too much about the partition type in fdisk if you specifically pass it the filesystem type using the -t option. What is the partition type showing up as in fdisk? -- Brent Kolasinski CUIR Tech Center University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Engelmann B26 (414)-229-6363 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
