If you dont have/cant make a vfat partition there is another option.
There is a windows driver for ext2 (1) (assuming that's what you use)
which enables you to copy from linux to windows when in windows.
Why not just use NTFS-3G? I hear that there is a stable release since
January 2007.

I hope there is a simple fix.
On an older dual-boot system, I used mtools. Is this still
recommended? I tried created a mtools.conf file that just said
drive c:

How do people configure mtools under Debian? My default install won't
let a user access /dev/fd0. Google and the mtools mailing list searches
turn up recommendations to run mtools setuid, but the mtools info

I've tried some things on the Debian 1.1 system at the university, but it

Hi,
how am I supposed to use mmove?
I think it should be called just like mcopy. However, while
'mcopy a: /dos/e' works, 'mmove a: /dos/e' doesn't. The man
page and the info file didn't help.
Any hints? Or is it a bug?
Thank you,
Ulf

Agreed, the correct solution is to add yourself to the floppy group.

Try cat /dev/fd0 to read it or cat /dev/zero > /dev/fd0 to wipe it. Or the

Try using mcopy and mdel like this:
mcopy a:'*' .
mdel a:'*' .
It looks like mtools need both the source and destination, a simple
"mcopy a:" is not enough. The single quotes let * pass all the way to
mtools programs which then do the file name expansion.
