i know it's possible to view your fat32 files on your linux partition (i had that feature with slackware) but my current SuSe (latest version) didn't ask me if i wanted that option, so i have to do it myself. well, i'm new to linux, so i looked for a NHF, and searched google, but nothing was there to be found... so if i could get some help on this...
don't know if i provided enough info here for you to help, so if you ask for information on my system, i'll gladly give it

here's a way to do it.
1. create a directory say fat-c
2. edit /etc/fstab and add the following line
/dev/hd# /fat-c vfat defaults 0 0

hd# is the fat32 harddrive
