I have a dual boot Pentium III system with Windoze 98 on hda (vfat fs) and Debian unstable on hdb (e2fs). I mount hda with the following line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat rw,uid=0,gid=100,umask=0 0 0 My wife's email is popped from our ppp down to a file on the vfat drive using Netscape messenger 4.76. In her home directory on hdb, I put a symbolic link to the directory on hda1 where netscape downloads the mail from the pop server. This works fine when I run kernel 2.2.17. However, I made a custom 2.4.1 kernel and I see that netscape messenger won't read the files from the mail directory on hda. I thought this might be a kernel problem so today I made a 2.4.2 kernel, and still netscape messenger won't read the files. Is this a netscape bug? It works under 2.2.17 but not 2.4.2. Is there a reasonable way to workaround this? -- Timothy J. Ford Don't worry Skipper, 4477 N.W. Fifth Avenue everything's in my hands! Boca Raton, FL 33431 --Gilligan
