One of the great things about Linux is that it isn't one-sided like
windows. You can view, transfer,.. other filesystems.
Sometimes I need to transfer files to windows, but always have to do so
as root.
It is a pain to be the only user of a computer and have to always go to
root to do something like that.
I realize that going to root has it's risk, but it is my computer and I
should be able to transfer files.
File Manager (SU mode) is fine, but you have to copy and paste, other
managers let you browse to where you
want it. If that would be changed I guess I could live with it, otherwise.
FAT doesnt support filepermissions if i remember, so i guess youd just have
to unmount the partiton, and manually mount as the user you wish to have
write acces. I dont have a windows box anywhere so i cant test for sure.
