you need to load the "vfat" module:
modprobe vfat
I was a bit annoyed with Ubuntu, I would expect them to load the "vfat" module

If you do this, make sure you don't try to use maildir format mail

use KMail which now defaults to maildir in ~/Mail

World-writable directories are generally discouraged unless you really know

What exactly is the command you use to try mounting, you'll probably tried
all these of course... but just to be sure:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt (you never know what windows could do...)

mount your drive with the option '-t vfat', but your kernel has to support
this filesystem.
Also I was wondering if anyone knew where a UDF reader/writer
might be found.
I think you have to patch your kernel:

CD-RW unit.)

The FAT32 patch will be included in Debian 2.0. It's currently
included in the kernel-image-2.0.3
Thus far no. Only kernels 2.1.x have FAT32 as a stock accessory.

No, it does not support fat32 in default kernel. You will need to apply fat32
patches and compile a custom kernel. You will find the patches at
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat3
There is also a program made by QuarterDeck called Partition-It! version
1.2 of this converts on the fly between FAT32 and FAT16. But why would
you want to when the kernel patch works beautifully?

If you are using win95 osr2 or osr2.1, you can use partition magic 3.0
to do it.

The only way I know of is with the commercial program Partition Magic ver.
3.0 (or later). Otherwise, I suppose you could back it up, reformat as
FAT16 and restore.

I'm not sure it's possible without backing up the entire drive and
refomatting (assuming you can find a copy of FDISK that'll do FAT16,
which I don't think was included in Win95 OSR2). Why would you want to do
