> How can I mount a win9x filesystem in RH6 Linux?  Advice much appreciated.

The mount command only works until you log out. Use linuxconf (see below)
for a connection to your C drive that mounts automatically on boot.

The easiest way for a newbie like me was to go to linuxconf under mount
local filesystems (from memory; I can't use the net under Linux yet) and
make a new vfat (win9x FAT32) partition for the device which on my computer
is the secondary master HD: /dev/hdc1. Mount it on /mnt/vfat. Then to make
things easier when you want to access the drive from /root, make a symbolic
link in root: ln -s /mnt/vfat cdrive. type cd cdrive;ls -al and you'll get a
listing of your win drive's root directory. Make another link in /root --
ln -s /mnt/vfat/"My Documents" mydocs -- to get to your My Documents dir.
