ok craftyc. Thanks. I may give that a go. In the meantime, just before I checked betaone, I installed Mandrake over my RedHat installation and you are right, it mounted the fat partitions automatically. Weird, because I put in the same command line in etc/fstab.
Now my main concern is configuring Samba. I followed all the instructions in the various Linux books I have and no go on Red Hat. Let you know tomorrow about Mandrake.
So far in all my trials I like best SuSE, Mandrake and Caldera second. Like least Red Hat. But, this is a very green Newbie speaking. Tried Debian, Slackware and Gentoo. But again.....I'm new at Linux, so it's not much of a recommendation.
