Need help w/ filmgimp.tar install

[Smoke187]

Hi I am a Linux NooB, I just downloaded filmgimp (filmgimp-0.16.tar), and I can't get it to run. I read the installation file and when I try to make a directory on my linux drive(I keep getting permission denied, even though I set the drive to be writable) I just wanna know how to set all my drives to be writables.[/quote]

Have you booted off CD or a HD install ?

It's usually a good idea to start your own thread rather than tacking an off topic post on an existing thread. That said....

To find out the status of your drives simply type:

mount
/dev/hda10 on /mnt/hda10 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)

rw = read/write

To get a drive to mount automatically on boot simply add it to /etc/fstab

/dev/hda10 /mnt/hda10 ext3 auto,users,exec 0 0

You can only make directories in your own /home unless you are root.

hdb5 is my linux drive all the others are windows, also is it possible to write ntfs? Only my fat32 drive is writable
