Answer#1: Yes, you can mount your win98 partition so you can read it in linux. First
you need to create a mountpoint ("mkdir /mnt/win"). Second, you need to mount is so
that you can read/write to it:
mount -t vfat -o umask=0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
Assuming: /dev/hda1 is the device your win98 partition is on, and you want all users
to have full rwx permissions (the umask=0 option).
If you always want your win98 partition available in linux, add a line to your
/et/fstab file. Something like:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat umask=0 0 0
I haven't done this in a while, so check the manpages for fstab and mount before you
do any of this (also for other usefule mount options).
Answer#2: Although I have't used it, my gnome desktop has a "sound recorder" program
(under the "foot" menu --> "multimedia"). Also, I've come across other programs for
recording sound under linux (some for the console, some for X), but I don't have the
program name or URL handy. You should be able to locate some of these programs at
freashmeat, linuxberg, rpmfind, or by doing a google search.
