If it is a NTFS filesystem, the linux kernel only supports read /
experimental write on NTFS 4.0.
The NTFS which is used by Windows 2k / Win XP is only supported as a
read-only filesystem.
To share files between Windows and Linux, you are better off to create a
FAT32 partition (which has read /

probably better off if they are owned by apache:apache.

Take a look in /etc/cron.daily -- that is everything that is being run on a
daily basis, and probably the source of virtually every e-mail you're getting.

samba, nfs, appletalk, ftp, http, scp, sftp all come immediately to mind --
it all depends on who you want to share it to, between what operating
systems, and what it is that you wish to share.

Of course, in all cases, I was never technically 'staff' per-se,
(especially for the general / cs accounts), since I was (and still am) a
'volunteer' out there.

To set all this up, you'd have to learn bind's syntax for what it calls
'zone' files.

from any Mandrake ftp mirror, or from kernel.org if you feel adventurous
and want to compile your own kernel.

Which version of Windows is it from? If it is from Windows 2000 / XP, it
won't mount because it uses a newer NTFS than is supported by the current
kernel release (I think they support up to NTFS 4 read, and (very
experimental) write).

My question now is what version of Mandrake are you using? If you are
using 8.1, the dependencies are a lot different than 7.x (ie, a 7.x rpm
won't work properly on 8.x, and a 8.x rpm will give off all kinds of errors
on a 7.x box)

Julian,
It must be related to what security setting you use. On both a Mandrake
7.2 and an 8.1 box, I have a cdrom group listed.

Gerald,
This is actually further restricted, because user(s) mounting / umounting
the CDROM must be in the 'cdrom' group. This also applies to the floppy.
In order to mount / umount the floppy drive, you must be in the floppy group.

h.rpm - these are typically documentation or system configuration
files which are not dependent on the type of architecture of the machine.
src.rpm (SRPMS) - these are files that can be 'rebuilt' and consist of the
source code of the program or library and any relevant patches.
HTH,
Mich
