98 on FAT32 should mount just fine, and should be writable by all users using umask=0000. XP, however, is something of a bitch. The OS marks basically all of the directories (and subdirectories) it creates during its install (/Winnt, /program files, and /documents and settings) read-only, but seems to ignore the flag itself. The net effect is that XP and Windows apps can write to those directores, but other OS's, that enforce the DOS read-only flag can't write to anywhere "normal". -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
