User privilages on Non ext2 partitions

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
