I had try it a time ago but the version I use doesn't support the compressed format. Because the compressed attribute is the only reason why I'm using NTFS (frankly, with dosntfs, the security of having an NTFS side to a FAT FS is really no more a reason... ;) I flushed it... and finally flushed NT at all... Mainly, Linux, especially with Debian, give me everything I need... I just find out the last reason why I really no more need a NTFS... A GPL VRML browser named VR-WEB ... Just try to find some time to spend on it and may be put it on deb... if no one else are interested to do it? - --------------------------------------------------------------- "Knowing how things work is the basis for appreciation, and is thus a source of civilized delight." -- William Safire - --------------------------------------------------------------- Fabien Ninoles aka le Veneur || Running Debian-Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] || Lover of MOO, mountains, http://www-edu.gel.usherb.ca/ninf01 || poetry and Freedom. - --------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMqzZhlX6fc7jcjhFAQEfNQP6A7GlcI2JdOIK6mEedGnRWNXbN0Rp40If SblPfYtxvgpXsO23e+bTQK3XpTR8eXCcJ0jumkibTrPRFPd7cFUXMkXVk8XrJiR1 /tYHkNxhZNUnMGr/665VW6VR1fpTwNVAnBks2zNibJ24NHeee/4QXimbuJhsmOcQ SJIjTCvKIJ8= =ilbW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
