I tried out Knoppix3.2 cd and i really liked it. So I used knx-hdinstall to install it onto a 4gb ext2 partition. It works just fine, but i simply cant access my fat32 partitions. Here's what /etc/fstab looks like:
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# partitions found by Knoppix
#/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0
#/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0
#/dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6 ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0

Any helpers?
Thank you

All your FAT partitions are commented out by the #. Just remove it for hda1, hda5 and hda7 and type: sudo mount -a
If you have a fast internet connection I would suggest a newer version of knoppix and ext3 or reiserfs filesystem.
