RE: [ILUG] coping files from win98 to linux in a dual boot syste

In linux you can mount your dos disk using the mount command,
e.g.
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c
make sure the /mnt/c directory exists and replace hda1 with whatever your win98
disk is. Then you can read all your Win98 files from /mnt/c.
If your trying to write to the linux partition from Win98 then I think your out
of luck. There is a program for reading ext2 partitions in Windows but it's
write capability is flakey to say the least. This program was on a recent PC
Plus cd IIRC. I think it was called ext2win or something to that effect.
