how to enable write support for fat32 patitions for normal users in FC4
 
I want to enable write support for fat32 partitions for normal users in FC4, as all my common files are stored there. I dont want to login as root every time i want to add data. I tried chmod and logging as root and then modifying permissions, but it didnt work.

Can you help me out?

Thanx in advance!
bye...

"I tried chmod and logging as root and then modifying permissions, but it didnt work."

You cannot change permissions for a mount point while something is mounted on it. umount the fat32 partition, use chmod to set the new permissions, and mount the fat32 partition again.

These instructions are for Ubuntu, but they should work for Fedora as well, too:

Of course, Fedora doesn't use Sudo, and if you don't have Gnome, you may not be using Gedit, but the same principles apply.
