There's someone I know who is brand new to Linux, has installed SUSE 8.2, is enthusiastic about it, but he reports that he cannot copy files to the Windows partition. This is his line in /etc/fstab for this:
/dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0
Since I have no windows partition myself, I can't experiment with it.
Even in this case you can experiment. You can create the FAT filesystem on a floppy or via the loop device in a file, see also "man mkdosfs". -- A.M.
