Put something like the following into /etc/fstab /dev/sda7 /mnt/win98 vfat noauto,user,gid=windows,umask=007 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/winxp ntfs noauto,user,gid=windows,umask=0222,ro 0 0 Note the differences between the flags for a fat32 and an ntfs filesystem. Also you'll need to change "sdXY" to <whatever> is your fat32 partition, and if you're panning on using an NTFS partition, you'll need the kernel module ... I think there's one prebuilt at ATrpms, or is it Dag's repo? Then you can just right-click on the desktop -> disks -> win98 to mount the drive, then double-click on the new icons on the desktop to launch a nautilus window in that dir. Also you'll find life easier if you run redhat-config-users, add a new group "windows" and make yourself a member of that group. You'll probably need to "init 3" and "startx" again for this to take effect. Regards, - K.
