Update:
Having learned about file and directory permissions, I logged in as root and
attempted to enable write permission for Group and Others for a DOS partition.
Unfortuately, these changes are ignored - when I view the permissions again
they are the same as before (drwxr-xr-x). If I attempt to change the ownership I
receive an error indicating I can't do that. Why not - I am root??
Is there something special about mounted DOS partitions that I need to know
about as far as permissions are concerned? I'm being forced to work as root
because otherwise I have no ability to write to DOS partitions. There must be a
way around this!? Please help.
