Hi, IIRC, adding the appropriate line to /etc/fstab will get it mounted at boot time. But Scott is right, the file system is read only and will need to be part of your kernel (I think a module would be OK). Keep an eye on the newer kernels for write support, I remember hearing rumors of it being in the later development kernels to have it ready for the 2.4 series, or I could be totally wrong :-) Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Grigsby [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 09, 1999 8:44 AM > > I assume Linux is booting okay...? > > And that you want access, from Linux, to read and write to the > other (NTFS) partition of your hard drive (where WinNT lives)? > > Alas, it's not possible (yet).
