I'm assuming that your fm is Nemo in Cinnamon.              If you navigate to that disk and R click in Nemo you can open the dir as       root by giving authentication. Then you can change the permissions       graphically w/ the elevated privileges.              'They say' you aren't supposed to do that and the proper instructions       are commandline chown.                     --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
