USB drives


I got one of these Flash USB memory keys and mounting is trivial. The only problem is that it is only mountable by root??!!

Ideally I would like it to be mountable by users with standard privledges. How can this be done??

Cheers

Add "user" to your /etc/fstab entry.
man fstab
man mount
Good Luck.

Those little things are RAD!!! I have a little Lexmark one that fits on my key-chain. If you wanna make it bootable with Linux, (who wouldn't) check out this place.

Very cool... God I could have used that thing a few months ago
