yes your are correct :) linux can read/write to fat/fat32 becareful to
mount the fat32 as VFAT and not FAT otherwise m/s long file names get
a little bit confused.....micro$oft does it again!!!!
but there is write support in NTFS now BUT
and its a BIG BUT
it can not create new files only edit existing files WITHOUT changing
the size of the file at all
the write support is only good for distros that boot using a image on
a ntfs part.
