sure it's possible... i have all my mp3's on my winblows drive but i read them from linux. I don't know what distro of linux you're using... but on mine, i just run linuxconf, map local drive, and select the filesystem type as fat32, and pick a mount point. you should also be able to specify it in your fstab file... i'll look into the details later.

Make sure your kernel has VFAT support. If not, you need to recompile your kernel or the modules to get VFAT support.

After your loaded the correct kernel/modules, you can mount it by typing 'mount -t vfat /dev/hd?? /mnt/where/ever'.

Please don't tell me you're implying a version of GNU/Linux to run with NTFS as its primary partition.

Actually, do tell me that. Good to start my day with a laugh.

Piece of piss.

edit /etc/fstab and add

/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat defaults

where hda1 is the dos partition and /mnt/dos is the mount point. mkdir /mnt/dos as root if its not already there.

Then come out and do mount /mnt/dos

and cd /mnt/dos

and youre there.

Be warned you need vfat support either compiled in or as a module (tho all distros ive seen have it compiled in by default)

HTH

Read-only support for NTFS is quite good actually. The writing-part is experimental though.
