Hi,

i remeber the topic was already covered once, but i did not managed to find it with the search.

mounting external hd with
mount -t vfat /dev/sde1 /mnt/usbhd -o codepage=850

results in ok mounted drive, but i can use it properly only as root.
can someone remember how to address this ?
target: want to use it also as non-root with write (delete) operations.
