As an alternative to mounting your Windows partition under Linux, you can run colinux under Windows. You then have both OSes running at the same time. Since colinux has a virtual network card you can then use samba to mount the shared Windows partition under colinux. You can set up colinux to mount a native Linux partition as its / partition. I currently do this with a native Fedora Core 2 install. By enabling XMDCP on the X display manager and using the cygwin X server I get the same graphical work environment as under a native Linux boot. Getting colinux set up isn't that difficult and I've been amazed at colinux performance. As I re-read the previous paragraph before sending I would have to admit that getting NTFS support in the Linux kernel may be easier, but what does that have to do with samba? :-) Tony Richardson -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
