Jeff,

No not those windows specific directories... all my DOC's etc...
like I want windows specific stuff on my system, that would be similar to
hitting my head against the wall and well.. I am not into self destruction
<Smile>  

I will try some other stuff.. thanks for your help.


Karina

What do you expect to do with your Windows files once you get them onto your

Linux filesystem with the spaces removed?  There will be a ProgramFiles 
directory with lots of stuff in it, but that will all be Windows-specific 
stuff that has no use on Linux.

Good :-)  I was hoping that it wouldn't exactly work until you explained why

you are trying to do this.

I don't really think you want to.  If you want to ditch Windows altogether
and 
go with Linux, then I don't think you don't have any use for those Windows 
files and directories any more.

                                Jeff
