can't create lock file /etc/mtab~: Permission denied (use -n to override)

Okay I use -n to override and it tells me

mount: must be super user to use mount

It is a lttle tricky to mount a vfat for users with read-write. All mounts must be done by root. The ones in fstab are automatically mounted bt root at boot time. Also make sure that the directory /mnt/win98 exists before you try to mount to it. As root: mount -t vfat -o umask=0 /dev/hda1 /C that will allow your users to have read-write access. I don't have a fstab entry for it, for security reasons. But you should be able to experiment with it in fstab, until you get it to work. As a last resort, enter the above mount command in your boot.local file. I would guess at a fstab entry to be: /dev/hda1 /mnt vfat rw,noauto,user,umask=0 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
