Re: Long file names.



If by 'quipping' you mean preserving the long filenames, the answer is:
Modify /etc/fstab so that the Win95 partitions are mounted under the vfat
filesystem type, instead of msdos.
Example (extracted from my own /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdc9                 /                         ext2   defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1                 /dosc                     msdos  defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5                 /dosd                     vfat   defaults,ro 0 0
