samba - Jan 2004 - Found my answer...New Question.

I have found my own answers... :)

Did I just miss this information (or is it not listed anywhere obvious)
that when you add a drive to the Linux box for FAT32 use with samba,
that it is located, on the Linux box, at /home/user/mnt/nameyougaveit?

I do have the Official Samba-3 book and plan to read it starting
tonight.  Is there anything IMPORTANT I need to know if I still use
2.28?

There is no need to use FAT32 on any file system that is exported via
Samba. If you must advertise a file system as type FAT, simply put in the
share definition in smb.conf:

[share]
	fstype = FAT

Samba-3 has many new features. Start with Chapter 2 of the book. It will
help you to get started.
