using a vfat partition - I can understand that you think it'øs crazy
but then I'm quite new to linux and don't quite feel comfortable
losing the possibility to read the files in /www from my winXP
installation. That's just what I'm used to. I'll accept if it can't be
done - but it sounds like it _can_ be but it's problematic (at least
for me so far).

so I either give up and lose my safety net while i continue to learn
linux (seems rather rash) or I keep trying to make this work.

but, *i do* understand why you might think i'm being silly - I just
want to play safe.

thanks Duncan
