Не ставлю critical только из-за остатков совести, но это очень важно, судя по 3.0.

А это 2 разных баги. Лучше не валить в кучу, а то я бы и не заметить мог.

examples from faq.altlinux.ru:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=utf-8,umask=0,quiet,showexec,codepage=866 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user,utf8,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c  ntfs-3g  dmask=0,fmask=0111,locale=ru_RU.UTF-8 0 0

PS: I'd suggest to keep summaries in English to facilitate search

> /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat
iocharset=utf-8,umask=0,quiet,showexec,codepage=866 0 0
BROKEN: correct doesn't have "-" in utf8:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=0,quiet,showexec,codepage=866 0 0

can we get automounting of windows FAT 32 & NTFS both as live & install and 
with both read & write permissions?

reportedly fixed in 20070628

2 aventis: better add yourself to CC list when interested in bug resolution ;-)

seems to be fixed

SO we will have automounting of windows FAT 32 & NTFS partitions with both 
read/write access both in ALT Linux 4.0 Desktop Live DVD and when installed to 
hard disc at the final release of ALT Linux 4.0 Desktop ? IS this fixed now ?

Yep.

Those interested might also have a look at installer-feature-desktop-other-fs.
