[debian-knoppix] knoppix access to and from hdxx ?

[Trish <ivyy@iprimus.com.au>]

Hi All
I have installed my 'new improved' hdinstall  (20th Jan version) and 
can't access my hda1 or hdb1 as 'knoppix' .  I can do this as root or su.
I have done "mount /dev/hdb1 mnt/hdb1 -t vfat" (and similar for hda1) 
and tried to edit the /etc/fstab file (various ways) but nothing seems 
to work.

 I have a desktop icon with permissions that enable knoppix (user) and 
 knoppix (group).  Is there something else I have to do?  I really need 
to be able to read and write to hdb1 (vfat).  I know that I can't write 
to ntfs which is not important.

This is the relevant part of the file.

# partitions found by Knoppix
#/dev/hdc2 /mnt/hdc2 xfs noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0
#/dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 vfat 
noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 vfat 
noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix  0 0

Thanks for any help
Trish
