i was wondering if anyone knew how to mount an external filesystem i.e. FAT, so that all users can access it, and not just read only?

/dev/hda10 /mnt/apps vfat rw,user,defaults 0 0

Also have a look at the NHF's on the subject and

man mount

man fstab

Sorry as I should have elaborated a little more.

Add/change rw,user to the particular mountpoint you want the uses to have access to in /etc/fstab.

/dev/hda10 /mnt/apps vfat rw,user,defaults 0 0

Then the users would only need to issue

mount /mnt/apps

to have read/write access to the mountpoint.
