Re: [SLUG] NTFS and Fedora
command_line_mode [EMAIL PROTECTED] captive captive file system application Project implements full read/write access to NTFS disk drives. You can mount your Microsoft Windows NT, 200x or XP partition as a transparently accessible volume for your GNU/Linux. As opposed to other projects this is currently the only software supporting the full read/write access including the possibility to create/delete files, modify directories etc securely with no loss of data due to the use of native windows .dll libraries. http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ (2004-05-06) /command_line_mode Personal Note Captive is easy as hell to install thanks to its nice clicky GUI tool that scans the hardisk/s for NTFS partitions and also installs the .ddl's either from a service pack or from the windows partition itself. No stuffing around with kernel modules with hope it doesn't screw up my NTFS partition in write mode because it uses Microsoft's own .dll's (and a bit of Wine wizardry ). Its open source and free to enjoy and its one of those gems in the open source community.

If you need a new driver, just grab the package containing that driver for your kernel. rpm -q kernel Will list installed kernels on your machine. Tell us the output and we'll take it from there.

Have you been dual-booting? And not sharing /boot between instances of fedora? Then you probably need to run grub-install.

I had another look back at what I had done with the apt-get system and it seemed that apt-get dist-upgrade had never finished, so I have started it again and one of the 'new' packages listed is the new kernel that I want. Will wait until that finishes and see what happens - besides I cant do an rpm -q at the moment as apt-get appears to have locked the rpm database.
