alias mntwin="mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /Win"
I put this line in '/etc/bashrc ', so that when I type 'mntwin'
in a console, my C:\ drive, 1st partition is mounted, ie.,
Windows98. When I'm done I type 'umount /Win' to unmount Windows.
Whether your C:\ drive is fat 16 or 32, this will let you navigate
your Windows dir's just as if they were any other dir's under Linux.
For this to work on your system you need to create a dir off '/'
named 'Win', or name it anything you want and put it where ever you
want, and edit the 'bashrc' line to match. 'Course you don't have
to put the line in 'bashrc', but then you'll need to type ' mount
-t vfat /dev/hda1 /Win ' every time you want access to Windows.
With Windows mounted, and two KFM windows open, one to the
Windows dir where the files you want are, the other to the Linux dir
you want to copy/move them to, it's then just a simple drag'n drop
to transfer the files.
