Hello all,
I just installed slack and so far I love it thanks for all the help/
I am fairly new to linux in general and I dont understand what might be trivial tasks,
My problem is this I have a fat partition that I can see as a everyday user but I cant open the folder to acess the files in it/
I use a fat 32 because i have all my media file on it, so when I went to linux I needed a way to read them,
My question is how can I get a regular user to have full access to this folder,
I am assuming that I have to go into su mode and do something like rxw to /slackusr or something to that effect?
any help would be great!
thanks again for helping me get along in linux

You need to edit your /etc/fstab file and have something like the following line:

/dev/hda2 /mnt/fat32 vfat defaults,users,umask=000 0 2

(above assumes your fat32 partition is at /dev/hda2). The umask=000 option allows all users access to your fat32 partition.

I love this place!
