My fstab:
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda3 /mnt/c vfat
rw,user,dev,exec,auto,async 1 0
#/dev/hda3 /mnt/c vfat defaults,umask=000 1 0
#/dev/hda5 /home vfat defaults,umask=000 1 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/d vfat defaults,umask=000 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
Questions:
1. is that possible to adjust permission of files/directories in vfat
partition?
using the fstab above, i, as superuser(root), do :
root at Slackware10:/mnt# ls -l /mnt
total 6
drwxr--r-- 8 root root 2048 1970-01-01 07:00 c/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-03-16 14:34 cdrom/
drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 2048 1970-01-01 07:00 d/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-03-16 14:34 floppy/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-03-16 14:34 hd/
root at Slackware10:/mnt# chmod 777 c/
root at Slackware10:/mnt# ls -l
total 6
drwxr--r-- 8 root root 2048 1970-01-01 07:00 c/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-03-16 14:34 cdrom/
drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 2048 1970-01-01 07:00 d/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-03-16 14:34 floppy/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2002-03-16 14:34 hd/
The permission do not change. What's wrong?
2. I also want to mount my /home directory in /dev/hda5 with umask=000
line in /etc/fstab but failed with this error message:
==================================================================
There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE
The message returned by system is
"Could not read network connection list
/home/newuser/.DCopServer_Slackware10_0"
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running
==================================================================
3. In Slackware, applications are bundled into a packages, for example:
kdeutils-3.2.3-i486-1. For instance, if i don't want the kwallletmanager i
have to delete the file and any possible files related to kwalletmanager
manually .
Is there other convenient ways to remove individual applications including
any dependent files to the application?
i use a standalone PC running windows(2 partitions) and Slackware Linux
10.0 and have only 6 GB harddrive so i try to use every possible way to
reserve free space.
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Yosua
