I have a linux RH5.0 system which I use as a single user workstation. To enable
me to write to a vfat partition,
I put the following in my /etc/fstab file
/dev/hda5 /d vfat user,rw,uid=500 0 0
where my user id is 500. I was told that this may work with group access
privilege also (gid=???) but I didn't need
that for my setup.
Hope this helps.
