I have a Compact Flash card formatted with ext2 for my Zaurus, but when I use my USB flash reader to mess with it on my desktop I have problems with everything on it being owned by root and not being able to write to it as a normal user. Any ideas?

Unfortunatly everything needs to stay owned by root so chowning everything isn't really an option.

There is no easy solution... You will still have to access stuff as root in your computer.

Wow... Great avatar...

Thanks... That's kinda the answer I've been coming to.

I have come up with a solution that would work, but is there any way to set a directory so that a new file created in it (working recursivly through the tree if possible...) would be given the access permissions of allowing "Other" to both read and write the file?
