The only way to fix the problem by users is:
1. Boot Knoppix Live CD and manually edit Ubuntu/Kubuntu the /etc/fstab
file.
For each FAT entry in fstab, replace '1' in column 6 with a '0'

2. Save the modified fstab*

Then Kubuntu/Ubuntu no longer checks FAT32 partions and does not destroy
them!
____________________________________
An easy fix by the developers is to create a sed script that replaces '1' in
col 6 of fstab with a '0' for all FAT entries in the fstab. They should have
also provided a patch for the affected versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu (6.10 and
6.11 since most users do not know how to edit fstab manually!

I am surprised that the developers still has not fixed the bug.
