You only need to mount it. You can do this in diskdrake as well. No change to lilo or anything else. Answer yes when diskdrake asks if you want the changes written to fstab. But why use fat32? Unless of course you are dual booting windoze and want to share data between W$ and Mandrake via this drive. Otherwise, there's no good reason not to use a decent journalized filesystem like reiser or xfs or ext3. Reiser is my preference, but any of them are far better than fat32! HTH Brian
