Hi Jeff,
I have found this to be not dangerous.
I had to change a little thing in my /etc/fstab in order to write to the
dos partitions as user though:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/c vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/d vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/e vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda9 /mnt/f vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda10 /mnt/g vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda11 /mnt/h vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
This is how it looks. I had to add the "user,exec,umask=0 0 0" and things
went fine.
Paul
