link folder on shared fat32 partition of dual boot PC
Another instance of trying to push the limits of my knowledge. Thanks to your help, both Firefox and Thunderbird are working fine, with more understanding of 'how things work' for me. (Thanks Benoit) I have repopulated Thunderbird with current Email, easy.
Next Challange:
In dual boot with Win2k, I have set up a third fat32 partition on the second HDD for mutual sharing of data. I even installed Thunderbird from the .deb file on this partition. (Thanks Christoph)
In Windows, I have always put my Thunderbird 'Local Folders' working directory which is the working Email file system, on the second partition. It's just a directory. (Also 'My Documents' and other stuff.)
Is it possible to structure Thunderbird to access the same 'Local Folders' directory on this partition from BOTH W2k AND Linux, depending on which one I boot with?
In Kubuntu, I'm having a problem accessing the Thunderbird 'Settings' location. Thunderbird 'Settings' function doesn't seem to access this partition, even though mounted, nor does it access information through links. At least not that I can structure.
I've put links on the desktop, etc, to no avail, played with permissions, . .
Anyone feel like helping?
