This depends on the permissions you set in fstab. vfat partitions get uniform permissions (the same for all files), the value of which depends on the options in fstab. see man mount. > In kde 1.1 and 2.0 I have no problems READing from these partitions, > WRITING however has to be done by root. ok.
