you can change the /Windows/F to whatever you want, just make sure to add the dir for the mount point. If you use kde, you can right click on the desktop > select create new > hard disk. Under properties there should be a choice for /windows/ or for /dev/hd?? Now you have an link to the windows partition when you need it.
You can change the fstab entry from noauto to auto if you want it mounted every time you log on.
Thanks Franklin for the help! I did that with the line /dev/hda1 /windows vfat nonauto,user,rw,exec 0 0 in the /etc/fstab and made the link on the kde desktop but get the error message: [mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab mont: mount point /windows does not exist ???????????????? Any ideas, what is a final newline, I know it exist cause I checked the partitions
It's kind of hard to describe but here goes. when you edit your /etc/fstab at some point you come to a final line of text (the last sentence). If you don't press return at the end of this sentence then you will get the error you mention. "No final newline" So just open the file in your editor again and press enter at the end of the last sentence. HTH -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
