[wplug] Win98/Linux data sharing

[redtoade]

I too have a dual boot with the Win98 partition
accessable from Linux.  To get this I added the
following line to my /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1               /mnt/win98c             vfat  
 user,exec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto,uid=500 0 0

I would strongly suggest that you 'man fstab' and do a
little light reading first.  Some of what I have in
there is redundant... 

Good luck.
