Ok,

        Let me set the scene. I have SuSe 5.2 installed, I have also snagged a
copy of the updated kernel (2.0.24) from the suse ftp site but I have not
compiled it yet. Does anyone know how I would mount a Fat32 Partition
please.

Cheers

Yes, but you have to tell us how the yast mount went.  that is the
easiest way.

Ok assuming these FAT32 drives are your windows95 pations the best way i have
found to mount them is as follows....

type  mount -t vfat /dev/hd(letter+number) /mnt
take a look what drive that is (c,d....) then mkdir /dosc /dosd....

now you wan't to write to the fstab in /etc
put something along the lines of the following..

/dev/hd(letter+number)  /mount-point(/dosc....)         noauto
vfat                0 0
                                                          don't automount
/                     ^                    ^
  Let the kernel know its a windows VFAT drive (FAT OR FAT32)
-|                    |
  Now set a dump frequency of 0 and an fsck off (the fsck for dos is still bu=
ggy)
-|

That should work...
if you don't want users with read access to the windows drives at all
an idea would be to make the directory /win/ add the drive letters inside it
/win/c/ win/d/.. and then
chmod 0700 /win

p.s all the above HAS to be done as root

You need to install and compile the kernel 2.0.34 *or* patch and compile your
2.0.33 kernel before you can get FAT32 support.
