Linux can read FAT16 and FAT32
There are also some experimental ways for Linux to use NTFS-- it generally works. http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
Obviously Linux can't actually be installed on a FAT or NTFS partition :) but it can read and write to those partitions.
thx
how do you configure linux to do that???
Read NTFS or FAT?Quote:

You have to do nothing for FAT16 or FAT32. You can read NTFS, but in order to write to it you will have to do a little work. Not much though. That sourceforge link has some good info on it.
