I've had limited exposure to unix/linux over the years. I've installed FC1 about a million times lately (don't ask) and finally think I've settled on a configuration with KDE that works quite nicely for me. I have a VFAT partition that I use with Win2k that I have made available under linux by adding: /dev/hda5 /mnt/win2k VFAT default 0 0 to my /etc/fstab file (I'm typing from memory, but you get the picture if there is a typo above). I can read and write to the drive, no problem. However, I downloaded some files .java from the 'net, saved them to my home directory (/home/trevor) and then tried to drag and drop them from my linux partition to the aforementioned /mnt/win2k partition. KDE and/or linux didn't like that. I logged out and back in as root and tried again and got some more refusal from KDE. I tried setting all the permissions for the files I wanted to move and dragged again and more or less got what I wanted, but also got a warning. It was all sort of confusing so, my question: Is there any particular "trick" to moving files between my win2k and linux partitions? Should I need to be root to do so? Do permissions need to be set on a per-file basis? Is the line in my /etc/fstab file correct? Thanks. -- Trevor Smith | trevor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
