The mount_ext2fs is not working yet. I checked kernel config file. GENERIC doesn' have a line of 'option ext2fs'. Should I simply add this line and rebuild the kernel? 2.2.7 must have this function to mount ext2, right? 2) any risk to write to ext2 partition? I mean to damage the linux partion? Also I have a question to access DOS partition. I have 2 primary DOS (win95) partions locate on first partition of my both IDE drives. I have no problem to access first one using mtools, say C. But when I do mdir d: I got message saying can not initialte the disk or something like that. What's it? Your'e advices are appreciated.
