I treid and tried to mount it, and the only way I got it to work was to
put it in my fstab and add ther user flag so any user can mount it, and
thus it will be writable by them. Of course on a multiuser system this
might not be the best option

Does umsdos work over fat32? I was going to try experimenting with that,
but haven't got to it yet
