[SWLUG] Linux newbie, again!

[Gareth James Powell]

Hi Marcus,
         Look like the first port of call is to edit /etc/fstab: try
'man fstab' (man mtab) It should tell you what you need to know, then
you can edit it and add/replace ('root'?) with 'users' to your mount
point entry: e.g. /dev/hda1 /windows/c vfat ro,noexec,auto,users (man
have missed a comma or two, doing this from memory as I use Winblows
and ScumOS at work)

Regards,
Gareth.
