Depends upon how you have everything partitoined, I suppose, but Doze is usually the first partitoin< hda1. I used this to mount my win98se partition: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/doze And it worked. I am having a problem editing /etc/fstab to make this stick, however. I have to remount each time I log in and want access to my doze partition. When I have tried to edit and resave /etc/fstab I get a "permission denied" message, even though I sign in to terminal as root. Anyone know what the problem is there? I've been signing into my user account at boot, the opening a root terminal...Do I need to sign into X as root at boot to do this?
