I wouldn't recommend doing that. Not everything that you have in your /home directory is something that you'll need in Windows, for one thing. When in Windows, for example, are you really going to need your .gnome folder? Nope. Also, as James pointed out, some programs just won't work if you move your /home directory, via symlink or fstab, to a vfat partition. Since I do a lot of writing and some graphics work (some of which I do need Photoshop for), I created a vfat partition on my dual-booted laptop where I store all of my working documents. It's a vfat partition, of course, called /dev/hda4 in Linux, and D: in Windows. In Linux, I mount /dev/hda4 to /home/richard/documents, and work there. Seems to work out just fine. -- Sláinte, Richard S.
