I'm not infront of a linux box at the moment so I can't test this, but you should be able to set the permissions when you mount the drive. sudo mount -t vfat /dev/<hd> /<destination> -ouid=1000,gid=1000 or something similar, check "man mount" for more info/exact command. You can do something similar in /etc/fstab too, so you can have it happen automagically on boot. -- Chris Bannister email/msn/jabber: ch...@suddenmoves.org.uk -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
