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

[ale_nospam at fayettedigital.com (Jim)]

I'm running a dual boot desktop with XP and Suse 9.3  Here's the line 
that makes my C drive belong to me:

/dev/hda1            /C                   auto       
noauto,user           0 0

ls -ld /C
drwxr-xr-x  15 jwl users 8192 2006-05-07 09:30 /C

Hope it works the same way for you.

Jim.
