I've not seen ntfs-writesupport in my kernelconfig as yet. ntfs-readonly was already included in the 2.2.x series. and, no using -t vfat on mount won't do the trick ;) I've chekced my 2.4.18 config and confirmed the above. write-support is probably some patch which is not yet included or part of the 2.5.x development-kernels. > At 08:57 AM 7/25/2002, Gil Andre wrote: > > >Hi Darragh, > > > >On Thu, 25 Jul 2002 13:10:34 +0100, Darragh wrote: > > > I know people are probably fed up of answering my questions, > > > but here goes any way. > > > >Isn't "answering questions" the whole point of this mailing list? > > > > > I've found the below commands which > > > should let me access a fat file system.
