linux compatibility with fat32?

[Mighty]

So I've heard that Linux is compatible with hundreds of different filesystems. What does this mean? Does this mean that I can read and write to and from the HD that contains my windows partition (fat32)? If so how can I do that?

mount -t vfat /dev/hda* /mnt/windows

where * means whatever partition you want, hda, hda1 etc. etc.
check it out in your control panel or in /etc/fstab
If you see some info on all your partitions in fstab you can automatically mount it after booting - just replace the 'noauto' with auto, otherwise make your own.

You can do a search in this forum for further help or do a google.com/linux search.

you also may or may not have to compile it into your kernel.
