How do I change permissions for a full
 
How do I change permissions for a full directory and all its sub directories. I would like to make a FAT32 Drive r & w for all users?

Thanks in advance for your help

Fat 32 does not support posix permissions so you will need to do so when the partition is mounted by using an option of "umask=0000"

thx David. I though it might be something to do with the "unmask" thingy but I didn't know what value to set it at.

Cheers

What is the difference between umask=0000 and umask=000 ?
