Arjan,
Regarding the partition question - you need to check two things: 1. That the permissions on the mount point are set to allow user access. Type: "ls -l /mnt" (without the quotes). You will see a list of mount points, one of which corresponds to each W$ partition. Check that the permissions are set similarly to this example. If not, you can change them as root using the chmod command. "man chmod" will teach you al you want to know about that. Note that you'll need to unmount the partition before changing the permissions. As root: "umount /mnt/win_c" or whatever it's really called. "mount -a" will remount it for you. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Mar 15 10:46 win_c/ 2. Have a look at your /etc/fstab file. "cat /etc/fstab" Your windows mounts (assuming they are FAT32) should look something like: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,user,auto,umask=0 0 0 The "user" bit is probably the thing that's most likely not set. To change it: umount /mnt/win_... cp /etc/fstab ~/ edit /etc/fstab with your favorite editor mount -a If this creates a problem you can't solve and you want to put fstab back the way it was: cp ~/fstab /etc/ HTH Brian On Fri, 2002-03-15 at 09:27, Arjan Petersen wrote: > hello, ive got a question.
