Oh noooooo, hpfs works fine with linux.
This is my /etc/fstab using Mandrake 6.1
/dev/sda2   /mnt/diskc   msdos   defaults   0    0
/dev/sda5   /mnt/diske   hpfs    defaults   0    0
/dev/sdb2   /mnt/diskd   hpfs    defaults   0    0
/dev/sdb5   /mnt/diskf   hpfs    defaults   0    0
/dev/sdc10  /mnt/diskg   hpfs    defaults   0    0
/dev/sdc11  /mnt/diskh   hpfs    defaults   0    0

And I can assure you it works fine. I can read them, not  write of
course, but for the reading, it's ok. Francois
