My problem is that I can't access (r,w) the "/windows/D" partition under RC2 because when you create a partition as fat32 during the installation, RC2 doesn't "by default" grant r,w rights to the fat32 filesystem. This, in my opinion, is a mistake.
It's _never_ harmless to access a file system out of it own operating system. Fat 32 is not a Linux filesystem, so mounting it read only is a good idea. that said, I think even that no default mounted system should be writable without the written permission of the owner :-) by default, security first... jdd NB there is an Ext2 file system driver for XP, making ext2 rw from xp. it's probably better than fat32, but I have no direct experience of it jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
