Yup! They're mounted with user's access.. so that's actually the whole point--the user using the tablet should be able to access the SD card contents.

And yep.. the user has a password. Just 'passwd user' and that should do it. Don't lose the root password. If you lose the user's password, though.. no biggy. You can go back in as root from the terminal and just 'passwd user' to change it without already knowing the old one. Hence why you want to try NOT TO LOG IN AS ROOT as much as possible. If anyone manages to get root.. they are GOD of your tablet. heheh

As for the mmc cards, you'll find them at:
internal: /media/mmc2
removeable: /media/mmc1

So, for instance, you can issue:
ls -la /media/mmc1

And you'll see the contents of the external card.. and you'll also notice that the files are all "owned" to the 'user' account.
