Or you can make an entry in /etc/fstab if you want something more permanent. My recollection is that it now writes to NTFS file systems. But it's still buggy, and can corrupt them. So, you really NEED to rtfm, and figure out the read only option to the mount. <div>On 11/9/06, Stephen R Laniel <<a href="mailto:steve@laniels.org">steve@laniels.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Tue, Oct 24, 2006 at 12:20:49AM +0100, KEVIN NOLAN wrote: > Nice OS, just installed for the first time.

I'm not in front of an NTFS box right now, but the last time I tried to do it, it was just a matter of using mount(8) -- something like mount -t ntfs /dev/ntfs_device /mnt/mount_point or whatever. Last I knew, Linux could only read NTFS, not write to it, but that was a few years ago. -- Stephen R.
