Hi, My FC3 box can recognize my external usb harddisk when I plug it in. In gnome the icons pop up on the desktop but when I try to open it to read it, it tells me that I do not have the permission to do it!!! I realize that only root can read the /media/whatever_stuff which is mounted. I would like to enable it for a normal user. How do I do this? Thanks for the help I mean I don't know the idea behind this but it's kind of silly that only root is able to read an external harddrive. -- Cheers, Didier. ------------ Didier F.B Casse | PhD candidate | LiMiNT Beamline Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS), 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: elprodigioREMOVE_THIS_ANTISPAM_MOJO@xxxxxxxxx| Web: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg | GPG Key 1024D/B3C57D01 2004-06-23
