OK - I tried the responses that I received to my question about mounting the
fat partition.
In the console, as root, I typed groupadd vfat. Then I went to my /etc/fstab
file to edit the vfat lines in it except there was no mention of vfat anywhere
in the file. I believe that my fat partition is hda1, but I'm not sure. That's
the way it's setup in the partition tables anyway. So now my question is
1. How do I determine what the partition table looks like in Linux, I assume
that my fat partition is hda1, but I'm not entirely certain.
I should be able to make it work with this information. I tried several
different variations on the mount command and not one of them worked, so I must
be specifying the wrong partition. Thanks, Ken
