hi all

why is it that a stiffy formatted in linux isnt recognised to win95 and
needs formatting and visa versa?
my problem being that i saved a file, from the web, through win95 onto a
disk and went into linux and couldn`t mount the device. is it true that
linux can only mounts stiffys formatted in linux? is there any way i can get
files off the net from win95 to   linux.(would i need to mount the win95
partitions and copy stuff across?) i have redhat 6 installed .

thanks
william
