I am running an intel Linux workstation at home which also has Win98 on it. I have one large partition which is formatted as a linux native partition, one swap partition and a couple of vfat partitions for use with win98. I use a normal user account on the workstation for myself when i am not doing system work and would like to be able to use the vfat partitions for storing archives of install programs for both linux applications and windows applications. However as a default the vfat partitions seem to have been set to root read write privilages, while others and groups can only read the vfat partitions. I have tried using chmod to change the privilages on the vfat partitions both for individual files and for directories, however nothing seems to change.....While on the linux partition privilages can be changed without a problem. I am new to linux and would appreicate any help anyone can give. Thanks in advance Garou
