Permissions on a Mounted drive

[David Nedrow]

Matthias,

Be sure that your mount command looks something like:

mount -t vfat -o user,rw,exec,umask=000 /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosdrive

Also, you may need to change permissions on the mount point.

You may also want to check the archives for the list. There're probably 
other questions/answers about this.
