Shared disks

[johan buys]

How do I do this? - The file is write-protected - I'm used to working in
mandrake this system is a lot different.  Do you perhaps have same
commands I can insert into the console to fix the problem. (I have 3
FAT32 disks, one bootable on hbd0) and one linux disk. that would be
very helpfull.
