[ale] Gotta bea FAQ: Give ordinary users R/W/X access to VFAT partition

[johnmills at speakeasy.net (John Mills)]

ALErs -

When I set up my dual-boot WinXP/SuSE-9.3 laptop, I included a VFAT 
partition as a 'DMZ' between WinXP and Linux. This works fine, except that 
I can't write or create files in that partion without 'su' or 'root' 
privilege. How can I modify the permissions so an ordinary Linux user can 
thrash away in the VFAT partition?

TIA.
