Ok well im sorta new with linux, done lots of research and such you know how it goes. Ne how i installed slack 9.0 and got started. I was mostly playing around as root and then i made my new user. I logged in as the new user and i started playin around again.....but somethin wasnt right......i couldnt mount a damn drive. How do i change the drive mounting permissions so my user (Jesus) can be able to mount drives in his account.

as root you need to edit /etc/fstab file.

what would i need to change in the /etc/fstab file to allow normal users to mount devices locally?

The fstab man page has everything you need to know - and this is important stuff to know anyway. RTFM.
