Did you do anything to your permissions??

[Imscaredofgrass]

ya, though i still dont have full permissions for mounted drives under the vfat filesystem

[Flatline]

You probably just need to change a line in your /etc/fstab for that; if there is a ro in the line for your vfat drive, change it to rw.

I typed in the code: chmod -R 777 and it went through the directory and attempted to change the permissions but it still needs the password. I am a student and just started learning fedora4. I intalled this on one of my laptops just for me to practice so if I screw it up no big deal; now that said, typing in the code changed nothing that I have noticed. What's up with that? The reason for me wanting to change the premissions is because I am trying to add a file to the profile.d directory so that I can set my aliases on login.

Well you need to set these permissions with root access. But it's a bad idea and not the right way to do it. If you want to add a file to that directory just add that particular file with root access, and change its permissions accordingly. There should be no need to change permissions on anything else.
