As an alternative for r/w NTFS, I've found that Captive fs works quite well, as it uses the actual windows NTFS driver, ntfs.sys, stored on the hard drive. Additionally, it is very easy to install (from RPM's) and easy to use. Obviously, I can't guarantee data integrity for you, but I have used it extensively, creating, editing, and removing large and small files, and editing the directory structure, and so far have not had problems with it: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ -- This space for rent _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://machito.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
