[64studio-devel] [SOLVED] HDD: Write permissions for ordinary user [SOLVED]

[Jason Schaefer]

I am curious what your fstab says. You want to send it? I haven't
followed this thread very carefully but it seems the way to resolve
permissions issues would be with /etc/fstab.

The Windows registry is perhaps the most difficult, annoying and
error-prone part of Windows. I think most people are very grateful gnu
software keeps it [fairly] simple with separate (modular) files
throughout /etc. The closest thing I know of to the Windows registry
is gnome's gconf. But that is for your gui interface.
