Re: Can't read Win95 (vfat) partitions

[Ric Tibbetts <tibbetts oz net>]

Yup, totally agree about the permissions problem. Right now it's set at
755. I need a bit wider permission level. The problem is: chown doesn't
effect it. I've tried! And tried... and tried...  

	Still, only root can write to it.
	What's the trick to opening it up? (chown doesn't work on it!)

			Thanks again!
