2. Change the group ownership of /dev/fd0* (or whatever it is on
your system) to ``floppy'' and give rw permissions for the group.
3. If your mount command supports it, add the ``user'' option to an
appropriate line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise configure sudo so users can
mount a floppy.

1. User permissions with ext2 mounted floppy
Find out the User ID (command: id) on the machine where you don't have
root rights. Then create an account on your own linux box with exactly
that id.
If you want to keep your user id, change your id in /etc/passwd _and_
change the owner of all your files e.g. via
find /home/username | xargs chown username.group
(do this as root).
good luck!
