i believe something was wrong with the cds that came with the book " red hat linux 9 bible" by christopher negus.
because the applet was occasionally crashing in gnome....
anyways i used the redhat 9 cds i downloaded and burned
i reinstalled minimal red hat 9 and apart from 5000 gb of / and 11700 gb of /home
i made /opt of 2048mb of vfat
now i came across some issues
before in my last installation of redhat 9 i made 20gb of fat32 from windows xp.
this time i was using red hat's partitioning tool during installation.
it did not allow me to create a vfat partition of more than 2048 mega bytes.
anyways i only did 2048 mb of vfat partition and had to mount it. so i mounted it as /opt.
it showed up in windows xp and going back into red hat linux the fdisk also worked
[for a tester, in windowsxp i copied couple of mp3 into that vfat partition]
i tried to view it with nautilus and then tried to play the files from that vfat partition
it did not work
1) how the damn i can access files from vfat partition ????????????????????????
2) if we want to check out what files a hard disk/partition has how can we view it ????
