Accessing Win98 partition

[Rodney Kanno]

Hi Brian,

Yeah I am using wine, and I do store unix binaries on there hehee. That drive 
is pretty much a storage drive for both windows and linux as well as fir 
running a few programs. what's umask=0 do? I just copied my old fstab file 
that's why.

Thanks,
Rodney
