for update reason(coz there are some new features added), AFAIK there is
no problem to compile from source even the developers+community of ntfs-3g
developers suggest that way

you can google this keyword "Re: [ntfs-3g-devel] Bug report: folders with
non-ASCII letters aren't displayed"
from: "Udrescu Gabriel sau [EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

this is the message:
You should consider using the latest ntfs-3g rather than a precompiled rpm
pack. it's much better, because openSUSE developers can't keep up with
ntfs-3g (or other) developers. even if you prefer Yast or other
packmangager, compiling the fuse kernel-module & ntfs-3g is a much better
than installing a precompiled pack.
I've had a similar problem with PCLinuxOS repos & rpm packs.

don't worry abt that if u want get update for fuse or ntfs-3g u can visit
this http://software.opensuse.org/download/filesystems/openSUSE_10.2/i586/

btw i succeded to checkinstall the latest stable ntfs-3g-1.417
(so i can uninstall it easily if there are problem, but as far i know
there isn't major problem)
