I did not keep the org, message as i saw a very descritive reply from
Lawson, what i cant remember is if he said, you might not be running kmod
or kerneld, ps ax | grep-v grep | grep kmod will show if its running, i
suspect its not, as the support in a distribution kernel is in module form,
so you then will need to do;
modprobe vfat
Before you mount the windows partition.
