Re: Fat Partitions

[alex <radsky ncia net>]

1.  mkdir /mnt/da1     (not needed after the first time)
2.  mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt da1
3.  cd  /mnt/da1
4.  ls -af --color=auto

do your thing with Windows
then:

1.  cd
2. umount  /mnt/da1

(These steps make excellent aliases.......
(first ---     mkdir /mnt/da1       --do this just once)  
then use an editor in    /etc/bashrc
alias win+='mount -t vfat /dev/hda  /mnt/da1;  cd /mnt/da1;  ls  -aF  
--color=auto'
alias win-='cd; umount  /mnt/da1'
--------
save in /etc/bashrc   then restart Linux
thereafter---
win+  puts you in hda1,       win-  restores to Linux

Please let me know how you like this?
