few more newbie questions :)

ok.
ill make it short.
i have mounted my win FAT32 partition.
now, whenever i copy something to it, it works, but at the end, of the copy procedure i get this error msg "Could not change permissions for /windows/C/myfolder/mycopiedfile"

:(

how do i have to mount that fat32 part, without getting this msgs when i copy, save something to it ?
thanks. :)

second question.

in win, i can play my mp3's with winamp, and plqy halflife at the same time. i can listen the music , and enjoy the sounds of bombs exploding and terrorists dying :p

in linux, kde, i cant use 2 apps at the same time, which are using my soundcard. is there any way to change that?

thanks (a lot) in advance.

;)

OK - couple of questions that I will ask before someone else does:

1. What command did you use to mount your fat partition? Perhaps it was mounted read only.

2. What soundcard are you using, and what drivers (OSS/ALSA?)

As I understand it you will always get that error on a fat32 partition, for one simple reason. Fat32/dos is so archaic that it can't comprehend permissions, and as far as I know there is nothing you can do about it.

As for the soundcard problem, I have the same problem with my SoundBlaster card, no help there, sorry.

1. mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /windows/C -o umask=000

2. alsa , i think

nop. it worked earlier, i never got that msg when i used suse 7.1 default install, i was able to copy files to fat32 part. without getting any permission errors. i know , fat32 doesnt support permissions, but i dont need em on the win part. it worked on suse. i just need the mount command.

thanks

:)

soundblaster? yea, i have soundblaster, but i heard it is possible to play games and listen music, with those oss drivers ...

??? Try removing the umask=000 and see if that gets rid of the error message.
