~ = your users home directory, usually /home/<username> just enter in a console: $ cd ~ and you are there all files and folders starting with a . in their name are hidden by ls or something else in Linux. and in deed, in ~/.mozilla is everything ... configuration, you files, bookmarks, .... > > 3) I've figured out how to mount the vfat drive partitions so Linux can > access them. How do I make this happen automatically at start-up? you have to do 2 things if you want this. i don't know how good you are in the console, ... but anyway ... there are automatic configuration utilities, but you don't need such things in general. open a console $> su - <enter you root password> some distribution need you to be in the wheel group. well .. if it doesn't work, try to log in as root directly ... edit this file: /etc/fstab there are already some entries, e.g. "/" for you main filesystem add a new line for you vfat partition and the mountpoint and the important thing is, that by default "root" mounts this vfat partition at boot time ... so, these files only have read/write permissions for root, not for every user (security, because fat32 does not have user right management .... ) in the options column also enter this: umask=0 this unmasks all files for all users save /etc/fstab after editing and type $> mount -a then the vfat should be mounted and r/w-able for all users Harald
