Ooh! A question I think I can help with. First try unmounting
your fat32, change the permissions of the mount point, and then mount
it back up again.<br>
<br>
If you want this on a more permanent basis, I believe that you need to change your /etc/fstab file. <br>
<br>
I think that if you add a rw under the fs-options that the device will
be mounted with read write permissions at startup. Please correct
me if I'm wrong on this.<br>
<pre>device - mount - type - fs-options - freq/passno<br>/dev/hda6 /stuff vfat defaults 0 0<br><br><br></pre>
