I can't honestly recall if I've tried to write to NTFS. [link\|https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G\|Ubuntu NTFS-3G]. I haven't used this package myself. HTH a bit. Cheers, Scott.

Ubuntu has it in Feisty Debian has it in Sid Can be easily compiled for any Kernel/Linux Distro as long as you have "FUSE" support proper. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`
