I hear ya! Permissions drive me nuts as well. It's one of those things that still "dog" <does that ever stink> Linux and will need to be addressed before it becomes as easy to use as OS X (permissions are good, but they're damn confusing). Have you tried sudo (I wish sudo was on by default... I'm a Mac user ;-) or su from the CLUI? You could possibly log-in to your KDE session as root, or start konquerer from a su or sudo command. IIRC your userID (UID) has to be the same on OS X as on YDL for you to be able to write. On Mac OS X it's possible to tell extfs2 (or whatever it's called) to ignore permissions. PS Have you tried the Mac OS X solution? Install ext2fs (find it at <http://www.versiontracker.com>) into your system and use it to mount the YDL partition.
