Hi Christopher, This is the line in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults 0 0 This is a fat32 partition. The install of RH8 put this line in there for me. If I understand the manual page "defaults" allows for a read/write mount. However, when as a "user" I try to create a file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phil]$ touch /dos/testfile touch: creating `/dos/testfile': Permission denied the above error is given. If I were to use SuSE linux, the addition of umask=000 as a mount option would have sufficed. But this seems to have no effect with RH8.
