[Tfug] How do you remove a file from a USB vfat - in c

[jblais]

Rob,

No error,
It did seem to work when I was running everything as root
Then to run as a kiosk  (/home/user/.gnome2/session file and
/etc/gdm/options.conf do the trick) I need to run as user, but to access IO
and mount USB and open serial ports, I need some apps to be owned by root
though they are run by a user. When these guys create files and such, they
are owned by root, so I do a bunch of chown/fchown to fix that, then....

But the file does at times seem to be gone, and they are definitely nuked to
0 length.  I'm checking on my unmount not to see that the force unmount
isn't the problem.

Anyway, it looks slick powering up and just going into a full screen app
with no login or anything, and when it shuts down, no desktop for users to
mess with (the script just has a loop to restart the app if anything does go
south)

Joe
