[ltp] Files, homework, Linux and Windows:

[ROOT, DAN]

Well, I made sure I formatted to DOS FAT.  The only things listed in my
/etc/filesystems are:

ext2
nodev proc
nodev devpts
iso9660
vfat
hfs


I do not see a msdos, so I added it and it still would not mount it?  I can
put things on my floppy from Linux and then see them on Linux, just not DOS
or vise versa.

Hmm?

I am "root" when mounting and using commands like mount -v vfat /dev/fd0 and
even mount -v /dev/fd0 and mount -v /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy etc...

Hi Dan,

if you use a DOS (FAT) formatted disk you should be able to save the 
files from your linux system (TP) on it.
I think FAT support is activated in the standard kernel of Redhat.
You can also save your .rpm on a disk and just read it on the linux 
system. You will then have to copy it to the hdd before installing, 
because linux file attributes are not the same as on the dos-disk.
