[LUG] Writing to FAT32 mounts as non-root user



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Under Mandrake 9.0, my FAT drives are owned root.root and the perms do not 
allow non-root users to write to them.  What's more, I can't change the 
owner/perms :-(

Which means you have to be root every time you want to do anything on your 
windows drives; not a friendly situation for a newbie!

So how do I fix it?

Cheers,

Jon
