You would learn so much if you did this stuff on your own. You have
the research skills, Randy, I sense that. Simply find some stuff on
the internet that is relevant to your issue (not Thunderbird
specific, but overall Unix disk access permissions issues) and
learn everything there is to know about it.
Then, move to the next issue that you're not 100% confident in. Study
it, learn, become an expert. And so forth and so on.
Simply writing in to a support list hoping for a shot in the dark
that will fix your problem is no way to go about *learning*.
I mean this in the most positive way. You have it in you. Dedicate
some time to *learning*, this is how you will solve your problems.
Cool. I will do it. I have changed /etc/fstab 3 times now ( an
rebooted each time) and I still get a Permission denied message. I have
also added myself to the disk group with no luck. I will keep
searching, reading, and learning. I know there is an answer to this and
it is probably staring me in the face. I just can't see it yet.
My main confusion about permissions is that when I am in my host distro,
I can mkdir on mnt/hda2 as rblythe with no problem. Well, back to the
drawing board. I will let you know when I figure this out.
Thanks,
rblythe
