I want to run linux on my drive, which already has windows on it. I had trouble getting it to recognise my win95 filenames because I used the zipslack install, and didn't understand how to edit stuff. Is there a way to do a talking install of linux so I will be prompted for everything, and configured properly, but without repartitioning my drive? I guess what I'm asking is is there a way to unzip zipslack, but ten somehow run the linux install program, so that it will re set itself up and allow me to taylor it to my system, but not make me change anything about the way my system currently behaves? I hope this questin makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Tony Baechler Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2001 12:46 AM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: Mounting Dos Partition on Bootup Hi. You probably got tons of answers but here goes anyway. The short answer is to read the man page on /etc/fstab and make sure to use fat32 for Win 9x, otherwise long filenames will not show up. If you are using Slackware, you are prompted for this during installation and it sets things up automatically. The way I did it was to make a directory called /win. I had subdirectories for all my drives under /win, like /win/c, /win/d, etc. I had to fiddle with /etc/fstab a few times before I got it right and found the syntax confusing, but it was great once it worked. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
