Windows partition needs to be mounted. I can automatically mount it

but that causes the resulting mount point to be owned by root.root, and
then her Mozilla can't have write access to the partition.


/dev/hda1 /home/novie/Win95 vfat defaults,user,uid=1000,gid=1000 0       0

should do what you want; just make sure you set those id's to the
correct number.

man mount, and see the "mount options for fat" section for more details.

Thanks! That looks like it'll do the trick!

I appreciate it!
