[ale] kubuntu 10.04 LTS mount external drive as user

LABEL=firelite /media/firelite  auto rw,user,exec,uid=123,gid=123
 0       0

Change "123" to your actual user id and group id. They could be

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
