/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0 This will mount winders when you boot up, r/w by anyone, and have a umask of 777. You then can make a shortcut on your desktop to open it up by clicking on it. I have used this for years over several distros, except my vfat winders is just used for storage now <g> -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: My other computer is your windows box. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
