belitov Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Have You ever used "kget" to download and save the downloads on a FAT32 partition? If -"Yes" try this: mv ~/.kde/share/apps/kget ~/.kde/share/apps/kget_old then "umount" and "mount", or just "remount" :) This worked for me!

arthur Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 (edited) you must add "user" or "users" to the options so that a user can mount or unmount it: /dev/hdd1 /mnt/Movies vfat users,umask=000,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0 adding "noauto" is also recommended, since if it gets mounted at boot by root, only root can write to it, so mounting it as a user is better. you can also type as root in console "chmod 777 /mnt/Movies" so that everyone can write to the folder.
