should be pretty simple... lets say your windows is installed on the first
partition on your first IDE harddrive (hda1)... so what you need to do is
this (as root):
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o uid=<your uid>,gid=<your gid>
the reason I put the uid and gid options is so that you will be able to
write to that directory as your local user, and not just as root. This
should work for win98, and win2k unless you use the NTFS filesystem. if you
don't know your uid and gid, you can find them out using the "id" command...
if you want the filesystem mounted at boot time, just add this line to your
/etc/fstab file:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat uid=<uid>,gid=<gid> 0 0
what else... if you're using the NTFS filesystem, you should be able to do
the same, except replace vfat with NTFS - but I havn't used an NTFS on linux
in a while, so I'm not sure 100%...
anything else? :)
