Vfat filesystems set the x attribtue to all their files (depending on 
how did you set the drive attributes in fstab), but their usually set to 
a umask=002, which leaves all rwx attributes for the owner (root) and 
group members (a nice security feature) ;) So you can make an UT2K4 
group and install to that directoy, then add users to that group if you 
want them to be able to play the game ;)
