Hi!
Please see the /usr/doc/HOWTO/Diskless-HOWTO for the first question.
It is possible to see (read/write) Windows partitions from Linux (not the
reverse, at least not without additional Windows software). Suposing your
Win partition is /dev/hda1, please enter as root and do
mkdir /mnt/win --> creates the /mnt/win directory
and put in /etc/fstab file the line:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat user,exec,nosuid,umask=0 0 0
Then do a
mount /mnt/win
or reboot the machine. In the above line, use "vfat" if the Win partition
is FAT32, "msdos" if it is FAT16.
This will mount the content of your Win partition in /mnt/win (cd in that
directory and do a ls to see the content of your C:\). You can then
read/write in this partition.
>From now on, the Win partition will be automatically mounted at startup.
If you don't want that, just add a "noauto" after "user" in the above
line. You'll have to mount manually, doing a "mount /mnt/win" every time
you want to access that partition.
Regards,
Razvan
