    NTFS support

    I think I saw Knoppix is doing NTFS reading AND writing.. If true would love to have reliable access to data I store on my XP system!

    Re: NTFS support

    IIRC kernel 2.6.15 has read access and 'experimental' write access. Wait for 2.6.16 and the 'experimental' tag has gone from the NTFS write access module support, but only allows very limited function (basically overwriting of the same file, if it's the same length, NOT file creation or deletion)

    The module for ntfs read access is called ntfs (sudo modprobe ntfs && sudo mount /media/dodgywindozedrive /dev/myntfsdrive)

    There is 3rd party (aka cost money) ntfs write support though.

      The (near) future looks promising though:
