Do a cat /etc/fstab with your diskonkey mounted.

you should see entries like this (for my floppy):
device------mount-----type------options---------------------dump--pass
...
/dev/fd0---/floppy-----vfat-----defaults,user,exec,rw------0------0

...

The important part is the options, if you have nouser in the options, unmount your device, edit your /etc/fstab file and change nouser to user, if user isn't in the options put it in, then save your changes and the remount your device.


Now see if it works.

The other thing may be permissions on the actual device used by your diskonkey, if your fstab looks OK, then do an ls-al /dev/your-device you should see something like:

brwxrwxrwx &nbsp 1 &nbsp root &nbsp root &nbsp 11 Feb 13 15:22 &nbsp /dev/your-device

Ignore the first letter, make sure the permissions are at least: ?rw-rw-rw- so that all users and groups can read or write to that device.
