Re: [newbie] Link htdocs in Linux to htdocs in windows in the same computer
Yes you can make a w2k and xp machine a fat32 file system, it is not reccomended, as the system can be and has been shown to be very unstable when running on fat32, ntfs is alot better in terms of reliability and stability, but then again windows has never been stable ;-) -- Marc Hultquist ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computerkit Systems (Pty) Ltd http://www.cks.co.za (P) +27 11 695 5317 (F) +27 11 312 1408 (C) +27 82 563 2861 Quote: Chances are that if you do something that required two hands, your brain should be notified in advance Confidentiality Notice: The above message and all attachments may contain privileged and confidential information intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed.

I converted my NTFS to FAT32 and it works ok. Now!! I have the following 1. My Linux web is in /var/www/html 2. My Win Web is in/mnt/win_d/WWW how can I link Linux to Win so when I go to /var/www/html it should read the contents of /mnt/win_d/WWW BR On Sat, 2004-06-12 at 18:36, Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote: OOzy wrote: How about if I convert the partion from NTFS to Fat32? You should be fine. Linux has no problem writing to Fat32 file systems. It is NTFS that has write problems, so it is set to read-only by default. I think you have to build your own kernel to get the write option for NTFS. Keeps new users from messing up the NTFS.

Re: [newbie] Link htdocs in Linux to htdocs in windows in the same computer
It depends on what windows you have installed, if its a windows that uses a fat32 file system then you are fine, however if you are using a windows that uses ntfs such as XP or 2000 etc, you wont really be able to do what you want, as Linux only has read support for ntfs, while there is write support(in Debian, not sure about others), it is listed as *testing* and is not reccomended !

Re: [newbie] Link htdocs in Linux to htdocs in windows in the same computer
I have to admit, posting in the Outlook format is annoying. Maybe as was reccomended use the Mozilla mail client for windows. If you are trying to link to your linux htdocs folder when in windows ? That is going to be a problem, the only way I know would to be or to use vmware, and well I don't think its possible to get vmware for free. And well I am NOT someone to use illegal software. If I am mistaken, but I understand it that you want to link from within windows to your htdocs in linux.. ?
