This is a different issue altogether. This is a restriction of the M$ filesystem and has nothing to do either with the distro or the Window Manager. If you want users to mount a M$ parti- tion in any distro under tty or any WM, have a look at: http://geocities.com/usmbish/hdi.html > > Like I said, I am only an end user, not much interested in the > intricacies of OSs. > Unfortunately, in *nix, there are only two types of users: a) Those who know that they are using *nix b) Those who don't even need to now that they are using *nix The latter only need to leave everything to the sys-admin and live happily thereafter. With a linux stand-alone box, unfort- unately you need to do your own sysadmining. I am afraid, this attitude "I am only an end user" is going to mean more than what you envisage ... or, get someone to admin your box !
