Hello,
I have two question concerning fc2:
- during the start of the system, the following information is displayed:

Activating swap partitions
Checking filesystem
Warning: FAT32 support is still ALPHA
(...) <-- here's a long break
later some digits and "There are differences between boot sector and its
backup."

I guess it has to do something with WinXP which I have also installed
(they were isnstalled before linux and the windows partition is
automatically mounted - I added a line to fstab). Exactly the same
happened when I had RH9 + WinXP. My question of course is: how to get
rid of this long break during the system startup and what does it mean?

- the second question is about accessing the mounted windows partition:
I can read files only as root, and copy only single files (not
directories). How can I change it, so I can fully operate on the
partiton as a "normal" user?
