Sounds like you're talking about how Knoppix 4 worked, namely by installing Microsnot's NTFS DLLs. It's beyond that. > Even on their own site, here is the quote... Let me counter-quote: Ntfsmount has almost full feature write support. It can resize, create and delete files and directories and even operate on symlinks, devices, FIFOs and sockets. Though ntfsmount has still some restrictions, data safety should not be in risk, especially if you make regular backups with ntfsclone. This is a highly advised, given that the most often problems we are reported are physical hard disk failures! > I would still suggest the options I suggested of using FAT32 > if it needs to be used by M$ and nix* I do agree with you about that. NTFS support is advanced, but FAT32 support is superior, and accessible from any *nix. Miark ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
