Oh, and I recall we had a discussion of mounting NTFS USB drives earlier. I
could not get ntfs-config to recognize mine. I eventually formatted it in
ext3 and used IFS from the windows machine, but she may be having that same
problem. Anybody else successfully mount a NTFS USB drive?

I don't get why USB is such a big deal? If it's formatted NTFS, why wouldn't
it just be seen as another NTFS drive?
