Yes it works!!! mount -o ro,showexec -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows/c and only exe,com and bad files have the exec bit set. I'm still on 2.4.9 (too many things to upgrade on my box (gcc,X and some gtk libs and 2.4.13 has an i2c update.. so hopefully that will be one less patch that I'll have to apply!! :) Kingsly _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
