I chmodded the mount points to 550 but when you mount them, they change back to 500. So I can't access the files. Any clues? Thanks! The permission on a mount directory have nothiong to do with the pêrmission on the mount point . They are determined by options in /etc/fsab. If you want everyone to be able to read your windows partition; use umask=000. See man mount to have more information. Olive Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You have more control on what you do. Note cfdisk is not really a command line program it is a menu driven program Olive Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Configuring Menus in KDE??
Hi everyone! Can someone tell me where the menu configs are located in MDK 9.1? Or what the console command is to bring up the Mandrake Menu Config GUI?? I had it as part of my menu, but then I switched to the standard KDE Menu and it's gone. Only one I have is the K Menu Config which doesn't allow me to switch back to MDK menu.

[newbie] Where is E16 and BlackBox on MDK 9.1??
Hi everyone! In the MDK 9.1 features, it lists Englightenment 16 and BlackBox are installed along with other Window Managers. I took note to install these with the main install, so I know they are available. However, I only have the option to choose from KDE, GNOME, Window Maker, and IceWM. How do I add E16 and BB to the list? Thanks for your help! -O __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
