What you can do, is mount the FAT volume on your Linux partition, and then
the FAT (Win95) partition is part of the Linux filesystem. This eliminates
the need to "copy" into the Linux partition. What you should look at is how
to mount the FAT or FAT32 partition in linux. I am not sure which FAQ
adequately explains how to do this, but it is fairly easy, and you should be
able to do this during most Linux installation routines. ( I know for a fact
that both Slackware and Redhat allow for mounting Fat partitions and
installing from them.)
