I have used fat32 with several versions of Linux, i.e. SUSE, Slack,
Mandrake, & generic. All have worked flawlessly. My use is generally limited
to transferring files after browsing the net. If I am browsing under Linux
and see something interesting, I download it then transfer it to a fat32
partition so Windows can see it. I do the same if I am browsing using
Windows and find something interesting for Linux.

Subject: FAT32
I added a vfat entry in my fstab for a second hard drive. When I boot up
RH9 it says "Warning FAT32 support is Alpha." Has anyone had problems with
mounting or using FAT32 from Linux? Is this being worked on? I actually
did have some problems transfering large amounts of data to my second hard
drive with Nautilus. Sometimes it would quit half way through only moving
half the files. This was an hour after I did a fresh reformat/install of
RH9. I used Windows 2000 to create a 32MB FAT32 partition, the maximum size
allowed.
Also, has anyone tried RH10 beta? How stable is it?
