still marked Dangerous in the kernel configuration. This is important to me
because it looks like I'll have to start using it next week. My office laptop

I have installed a Win2000 and you do not have to switch to NTFS. W2000

You might wanna give it a try.
good luck,

It is extremely dangerous. Never use unless you are desperate. It creates
corrupt files and especially directories.
