Klaus,
This is a kluge, but I reckon it will work. _If_ you made a swap
partition, and _if_ you have enough ram to run without it for a bit. 16
mb should be plenty if you leave X and fancy stuff down for this.
boot linux.
comment out the swap partition in /etc/fstab.
swapoff.
use fdisk to change the swap partition to a dos partition (fat16).
mkfs -t msdos </dev/<swap partition> <size in kbytes>
boot windows.
You should now have a new empty drive - E: ??
copy the files you need to it.
boot linux.
mount -t msdos /dev/<swap partition> <mount point>
copy the files you need from /<mount point> to where you want them.
[sync]
umount <mount point>
change the partition type back to swap with fdisk.
mkswap
swapon
uncomment the swap line in fstab.
configure and compile your new kernel with vfat support....
You will have to read a few man pages. But if I hadn't already dropped
2.0.36 onto my system, and I had a fat32 fs I needed files from, that is
how I would go about it.
