mounting NTFS on ubuntu

[Pushparaj Shetty]

Hello Sir,
Thank you very much for the kind useful instructions. If you don't
mind i need help on detecting sound in Ubuntu 6.10. (Audio is not
working in my system., however i can play video files using gxine
without audio). Please provide instructions for the same.

Thanks
Pushparaj
