I just made a few minor changes to my system that I thought some of you might be interested in. I have a dual-boot RH7.1/Win98 laptop. Here's the section for Windows in my /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat noauto,owner 0 0 Next, I right-click my desktop in KDE and select Create New... Hard Disk. I then point it to /dev/hda1 and /mnt/dos. Next, I changed the ownership of /dev/hda1 to me: chown m /dev/hda1 So the dos filesystem is not mounted until I click the disk icon on my desktop, at which point I can then browse my files in Konqueror on the dos side. Nothing I did was that big of a deal, but it makes things a bit easier. Oh, and by the way, Linux rocks! ;-) ~M __ If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
