DON'T WRITE TO THE ntfs HD! It is NOT reliable in linux. If you
insist, make sure you have a complete backup of everything!
----cjs reply----
ok. just to clear something up, would it be safe to write to a FAT16/32
file system?
----end of reply----
yes fat is fine, just recognize fat does not have any file permissions
beyond 'rash'
Read only, Archive, System, and Hidden
no files are owned by a user, and can be accessed by anyone permitted to
access the partition.
a lot of folks use a fat32 partition to store files between the OSs when
having a dual boot install, but it's not a good idea to run linux from a
fat file system...
