Change the settings in /etc/fstab to include 'user'. /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat noauto,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 I also use noauto in the settings so that it isn't mounted until I need it. Because I call mount as a user, the partition is mounted read-write for that user. (KwikDisk is handy like that). - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+kLNZiAEJSii8s+MRAqyhAJ0UkWvVcdx8yW4PSfrzkkTVK9q7pACfa/oH uZEIw+XN2XLug+a2VH3NGGU= =PHrb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
