New NTFS writing capability for certain Linux distros..

[Sladeiix980]

Hey there,

As many of you are asking (As have I) about writing to an NTFS
partition, I have found a possible solution. This website gives you
an RPM file that might give you the ability to write to NTFS files.
If this works, I am dumping my FAT32 partition on my USB HD.
I will try and let you know if it works. Someone else please do the
same.

Hope this helps

WoW!!
This is cool!
... very nice project.

I'm going to give it a shot!

Thanks for the link.

I remember reading about this on slashdot. There's somewhat of a controversy about using the Windows binaries, not so much the legality of it, but whether it really keeps to the OSS ideals. That bugbear to the side, I'd be curious to hear if this works well.

Hey there,

I have read the same as you. If I didn't work with files bigger
than 4GB than yes, the FAT32 would suit me. Unfortunately,
dealing with 4+GB avi captured files won't work.

I have to deal with this now. Hopefully it works.
