Re: [newbie] one more question i almost forgot...
create the dir /mnt/c/ also replace the first x with what hard drive it is ( like a or b) and the second x with the number of the partition for windows it is normely 1 sorry for how stupid that sounds i just got up : ) mount -t vfat /dev/hdxx /mnt/c (BTW: someone else on this list told me how to do this so thank him/her!)

Clay, you would need to find a recent kernel (at least 2.0.36 that comes with Mandrake 5.2) and recompile it to include VFAT support. You would then add an entry to your fstab and/or lilo.conf to mount the FAT32 partition. It is possible, as I have done it. Paul -- +---+ Paul A.
