I have been slowly moving from Windows95 to Debian Linux. For the past several months, i've been using root as my everyday login. i know that's a bad idea, but to get me started it seemed the simplest way. now i feel comfortable enough using Linux and WindowMaker to switch from root to an ordinary account. Among the problems i've encountered is this one: my vfat drives (/dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1) are read-only to me as an ordinary user. these drives are mounted on startup by the following lines in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /cdrive vfat rw,user,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdb1 /cdrive vfat rw,user,errors=remount-ro 0 1 As root, the mounts are rw; but as an ordinary user they are ro. any suggestions?
