Thanks for info. I can make this work at command line as a root (this is 
on RH 9.0)

mount -t vfat  -o shortname="winnt" /dev/sda1 /mnt/USB

How to add this to fstab, the currect fstab is 
/dev/sda1               /mnt/USB                vfat   users,noauto 0 0


The 2nd question is, on FC3,  hotplug automatically mounts USB disks, where should I make such changes?

Thanks
