Well, i have made an ext2 fs system on the diskette and i can set write bit. It seems (although obvious) that on floppies shared between WINs and Linux (fat) is not possible to use chmod 666 or i'm wrong AGAIN.
Hi Zvone,
FAT filesystems aren't sophisticated enough to support *nix style permissions schemes. It knows nothing about 'users' or 'groups' and no physical location was built into it's structure to store such information. It /does/ know read+write and read-only, though.
