Well, guess what? That's exactly what I'm trying to do! Just what is
Linux's syntax for these DOS extended partitions that Windows puts all
those drive letters on? I've tried /dev/hda1 and so on, and I've tried
combinations from /dev, but nothing works. What's the secret password?

mount -t vfat /dev/YOURW95PARTITIONHERE
should do it However, if you don't have vfat support in your kernel
(you should though), then recompile the kernel. Be sure to say 'yes' to
native language support. Then an option will come up asking about vfat
support, say 'yes' there also. Oh... make sure you're trying the proper
partition too.
Hope this helps!
