Is it better to set up that FAT32 partition for data from the Windows side of things, or from the Linux side, or does it make any difference in the long run? In other words, if it becomes, say, an "F:" drive within Windows, is that the same as creating it as, say, "/data" from within Linux, or are there some gotchas in this process? Paranoid, as always, and certainly not used to the whole partitioning "thang" ... TIA -- Chuck Mattsen ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Mahnomen, MN Registered Linux User #346519
