The RedHat system is probably a 2.0.x kernel that doesnt understand FAT32. Your slackware kernel must have been patched, or you reformated and re-installed your DOS partition recently. You need to install the kernel source RPM, then find some FAT32 filesystem patches. (A web search will turn them up quickly, or at least it did for me) and apply the patch and rebuilt. FAT32 made it into the 2.1.x series as 'standard' a couple of patch levels back. It works for me. -- Matthew Geier, | Australian Public Access Network Association matthew@sleeper.apana.org.au | +61 2 9587 9773 matthew@law.usyd.edu.au | 018 977 356
