Hello everyone: I'm currently running SuSE 8.1 on one partition and Windoze on another (same hard drive). I have Wordperfect 8.0 installed on both operating systems. At the moment, under Linux, I can open and read a Wordperfect file from the Windoze drive. However, if I modify it, I have to save it under a different file name. What I would like to do is to be able to access and modify the Wordperfect files on the Windoze drive while I'm in Linux but without the need to save the file under a different name. Someone suggested modifying the fstab file to give me complete permissions to these files. The setting for the Windoze drive (/dev/hda1 - vfat file type) is: 'defaults' .
Should I set the fstab settings for the Windoze drive to:
'ro, noauto, user, exec'?
Or, if this is not correct, what is the correct setting? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike
I do not have this problem and have a similar dual boot system with WordPerfect on the linux partition. My etc/fstab is (don't let the SCSI drive bother you) /dev/sda1 /mnt/Win98 vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0 Hope that helps. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"
