Copying btw Win/LINUX partitions Mark Gilmore Tue, 22 Feb 2000 11:07:59 -0500

To all LINUX users:
I REALLY REALLY need some help in learning how to copy files
btw my Win & LINUX partitions (I am wasting way too much time
copying files to/from floppies).

/etc/fstab looks like this (that last line I added, which was a GUESS):
	/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults  1  1 
	/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults  0 0  
	/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
	/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos defaults,user,noauto 0 0
	/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
	/dev/hda1 /mnt/msdos vfat dev,exec,suid 0  0	(my addition)

I need to know:
1) What I should place in /etc/fstab (if diff from above).
2) How to execute any required MOUNT command (if applicable).
3) How to access the partition (e.g. "dir /auto/msdos" or what ?).
4) How to copy from LINUX to WIN (when booted in Windows).
