accessing dos partitions



Dear Yoni and Micha, Shalom!

Thank you for your suggestions and support. Here below is the answer I 
received from SuSE support, similar to yours, and which I immediately 
implemented. Note, they completely skipped over YaST.

I am now able to access files on the dos side. With great patience I was 
able to open a Word6.doc in WordPerfect. Star Office can't even be 
considered, because of its slowness. I tried to open some saved HTML pages 
in Netscape, but I kept getting this message: Netscape is unable to locate 
the server keyword.netscape.com. I was not interested in going on line, 
just to read a saved page on the dos partition.

Anyone know what a "keyword" is? I've searched all around, but can't find 
the reference, and in the meantime am blocked.

TIA

Create a mount Point :

mkdir /dos_1

After that edit the file /etc/fstab .
Create the following entry :

/dev/hda1    /dos_1   vfat  noauto,user 0 0

Save the file.

After that you can mount the Dos Partition with

mount /dos_1

Unmounting the partition can be done with

umount /dos_1

You have to do the same things to mount the other dos partitions.
