Yesterday I installed Fedora on a stand-alone machine at home. Q1) When I mount my USB flash drive I can only write to the drive as root. I logged in as root and tried to change permissions for all users to RWE (777?), but I get a message that says that I don't have permission to change permissions on the flash drive. I thought root was god, so my wild guess is that there is something wrong with my entry for sda1 in fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto auto,user,rw 0 0 Is there something wrong with this entry? Q2) What's the command to change file and directory permissions recursively down through a directory tree. Q3) I have a reasonably new Canon LBP-810 laser printer that I can't print to because Fedora doesn't have print drivers for this printer. I've googled for printer drivers, but can't find any. I've googled the problem and it seems Linux cannot support this printer. The only solution that I can find is to run a widows printer server and print through that. This isn't a solution for a single stand-alone machine at home and of course I don't want to network two machines and run two machines just so that I can print. Is there a solution or has my printer denied me access to the wonderful world of Linux? SR
