I have SuSE 7.3 pro installed and a dual boot situation on my hard drive - there are entries in fstab for the C and D drives that are on the Win2K side of my machine - but when I try to "mount" them, I get an error saying "no such mount point" any ideas on this one? Chuck "Linux newbie"

This may be one of the few times an error message actually describes pretty correct what is the error ;-) mkdir <mount point> should do it, of course replacing mount point with the mentioned mount point in the error, or in /etc/fstab. Joost

AFAIK, NTFS support in Linux is read-only for now, with write being in the experimental stage. Now, if you installed Win2K using the FAT32 file system, then Linux can read/write to it with no problem (the Linux name for FAT32 is VFAT).

There's no need to have 2K and linux writing to each other's installations. That's what additional FAT32 partitions (or a separate Windows boot
