Hi listers, I have a partition mounted in my linux system Ubuntu Edgy, that has windows files on it, so it's a vfat partition. On this mounted partition i have a folder with some documents i would like to be able to work with both from Ubuntu and from Windows. I can't use Openoffice in Linux to edit the files unless i'm root, and i don't have the permissions to change owner of the files even if i'm root and from Gnome i can't even copy the files to Linux. Is there a way to work around this even though i know that VFat doesn't support permissions and so on? I could move the folder to a linux partition and work on them there, because then i could Chown as much as i wanted to, however, when i moved the files back to the Windows partition, they lose their permissions. So, is it best to make a copy of the folder, put it in say my home directory, work on the files there, and then do some kind of synchronizing between the Linux folder and the windows one or is there another way? /Krister _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
