Permissions To Other Hardrives??


Okay, I've got Wine up and running..

but when I try to install something on my

Windoze (heavy on the doze) drive..

it goes thru all the steps..xcept at the very

end...it bombs and tells me that I do not

have access/permissions to this drive..

I've got shortcuts to those drives on my

desktop....how do I give myself access

to those drives...please advise...

What I do is give myself permission to acces my windows partition with all rights. I put this line into /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults,uid=mathi 1 0

Where /dev/hda1 is my windows partition, /mnt/windows its mount point, and mathi my login name. (sorry for the obvious)
