One thing to note if your sharing a thunderbird account between windows
and Linux.
I've found some extensions aren't happy being shared between the two
OS's and will report they're installed but not work under one of the OS's.
Instead what seems to work fine is to link (ln -s) to the folder with
the mail in it. Thus your accounts share the mail but you have
independent extensions and setting for each system.
Also for those of you who haven't noticed we finally seem to have "safe"
OS NTFS write support in linux via NTFS-3G have a look here
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ though it is still in beta.

Can anyone tell me where to look in thunderbird to find the address book
please??
Alan, I bekieve that there is a way of sharing your thunderbird mail file
between Linux and Windows so it might be good to get that set up on Tuesday
if someone volunteers.
Have you got your Fat32 partition mounted OK again?

Oh yes, had forgotten that there is a meeting tomorrow night... I've
offered to do this but need that shared fat32 partition accessible from
mepis first. I will presume that the line suggested in fstab is correct
and that either issuing a mount command or reboot (which will have
happened when the box arrive tomorrow night) is all that is needed to
access it from /mnt. I can take it from there . . .
Alan, are you successfully accessing that fat32 partition yet? ie
saving and editing files in a folder on it?
Cheers,
Roger
