Frank, I'm a perpetual newbie in Linux, so I do not have a specific answer for you. My experience, however, has been that I can read/write to/from an ms-dos partition in a dual-boot BasicLinux/MS-DOS 6.22/Windows 3.11 installation. However, this was without XWindows. I'm not familiar with the KDE mount Utility Tool you mention. Certainly you're on the right track with your fstab entry. Are you able to read/write to/from your ms-dos partition outside of XWindows, i.e., from your Bash shell?
