The subject says it all.  I have tried a number of different things
(modifications to fstab, sudo, etc.), but I think I'm simply barking up the
wrong tree to get the job done.  My understanding (at this point) is that
the partition is being auto-mounted during startup, which is why it is
mounted as root (and hence read-only for users).  I'm not sure where to poke
around to change this, though.

I want a regular user to have "normal", Windows-like read-write access to
any FAT32 partitions, but to be a regular user in every other respect --
i.e. I don't want to make the user a member of the "root" group (an example
only, I'm not sure if that's even right), if possible.

Can anyone help me do this?

Thanks,
Curtis.

FTR (for the record), it's Slackware 9.0 (woohoo!) but that shouldn't
matter.  This is basic *nix stuff (/me is shamed).
