Depending :on the flavor :and version of linux, you may have to load an NTFS driver; I believe :sourceforge has a read-only driver. If you don't have a linux :box hanging :around then I suppose you could also attach the drive to :another MS box and :access it natively.
Let me start by saying I have learned a lot from this list. However, my question now is, why do so many of you try to solve everything using linux. I realize that linux is an excellent OS and a true NOS however, in this case isn't that like going to points C and D to get from A to B? Like Chris Berry said and Gene LeDuc conceded, simply drop it into a Win2K box as a slave and copy the files. Worse come to worse you take ownership of the files in question (you do have admin rights on a Win2K box right?) Sometimes we get lost in the simplicity of the answer. No need to load NTFS drivers in linux. Raoul --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
