Hi, I've got three problem: 1) These are my partitions on my disk. /dev/hdb1 * 1 1045 8393931 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 1046 2498 11671222+ 83 Linux In the first one there is the system and in the second one i've my data. I'm using fedora core 1 and gnome. I'd like to mount my data partition, but i can do it only when i'm root. How can i do that as normal user? 2) I'd like to have a directory with data that i can share beetwen users, what/where is the best directory i can use in the file system? 3) When i use my flash pen disk the system try to mount it using /dev/sda1 and tell me that i need to specify the kind of file systems (it is a vfat). Where i can specify that the system must use /dev/sda (instead of /dev/sda1) and the filesystem is a vfat ? Thanks in advance, gdb
