Just curious why would you want to not use x on a daily basis?

I'm not quite sure where it is, but if you have the time to search, there is
a thread on the arch bbs about doing exactly what you want. A lot of
applications and hints/tips are in there.

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to live without X,
replacing framebuffer for it, using packages
available for arch? I imagine something like
DirectFB or similar, using it when text is
not enough. I think I could do with a browser
and a pdf viewer, but I wasn't able to find
a direction to follow to

If it is working now, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you all for your help. Gregory, your method seems to be working-
very good! I just finished getting it setup and bam it worked. I can
play music from my external hdd, etc.
Thank you Linux Gurus, ;-).
Fingers crossed, hopefully it will stay this way.
Thanks,
Preston

What is your fstab line?
Please, post also the output of the command "id".
Thank you both. Tried adding rw, but with no success. Will redo
everything trying your method Gregory, then if that does not work will
try HAL.
The way I read it, the problem is mounting NTFS drives in KDE with HAL.
By using the fstab method, the drive is being mounted on boot. As far
as KDE knows, it's just another folder.

Thanks Gregory. What do you think about what Alessandro said, there
being a bug in KDE where you cannot access ntfs unless you use HAL?

Add "rw" to your fstab options: rw,users,...
The last I knew, the built-in "ntfs" doesn't not have write support, or
isn't very reliable. ntfs-3g is the preferred way to work with ntfs
partitions/drives. The other options will ensure that you can
read/write everything without being root.

You can also try pmount but I don't know if it works with ntfs drives.

Thanks Alessandro. You feel that I should use the HAL way since it is KDE?
UPDATE: I just found out that while I can access the /sdc1 I can't
read or write with it.

This will mount the drive at boot, allow users to mount/umount, user id
1000/grp id 100
will own everything on the drive, and files will have the permission 664,
directories 775.

The drive hasn't been unplugged since I got it. Do I need to install
ntfs-3g, bef
No problem :)
You also have the HAL method, which can be handy if you remove/attach
the drive often. But if the drive is attached all or most of the time,
good ol' fstab is the easiest and most reliable. ;)

Hi,
On arch, such things as adding external drives to fstab are left up to

Just add a line for it.
