Thanks all for reply to my previous posts.
Now I have several other questions:1) I resize the
hardware and create a partition (10G) as FAT32 and
label it as E under windows XP. How do I read it from
Linux FC4? I use the following commands under FC4:
1) mkdir /mnt/FAT32
2) mount -t FAT32 /dev/hda1 /mnt/FAT32
but it doesn't work. Could any expert out there give
me a hand?
I'm no expert, but I think that the only thing wrong there is the type. It
should be '-t vfat'.
2)When I install FC4 I can see the all the partitions
on my hardware(only one). Can I see all of them after
I open a terminal in FC4? I use df command but it only
shows the linux partitions.
You can only see mounted partitions in the terminal. Your fat32 partition
failed to mount.
3)BTW I check the file system used by FC4 it say "type
8e" instead of ext2 or ext3. So what is the different
between type 8e and ext3/2? Some special softwares can
only read ext2 files under windows XP but not type 8e.
I don't know anything about that, sorry :-(
You are not looking at the filesystem type but the partition type.
If you use the command 'mount' you should get a list of partitions with
filesystem like this:
[scott@ip68-101-182-212 ~]$ mount
/dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
The 8e you see says that the partition is an linux LVM

4)Most of the time I use English for communication
with my colleges. But sometimes I need to use my
native language for word processing or write to my
family in my hometown. In this case how do I switch
to my native language and type them from the keyboard
using FC4? I know FC4 contains a lot of language
packages including my native language.
I think it depends on whether you use kde or gnome. Take a look at the
control center for the one you use.
