Hi folks, recently I installed Fedore Core 1 on a PC with a FastTrack 133 "Lite" on it. <14:33:12> macmewes@linux:~ $ df Filesystem 1K-Blöcke Benutzt Verfügbar Ben% Eingehängt auf /dev/hdg2 79048292 6264524 68768324 9% / /dev/hdg1 101086 8337 87530 9% /boot /dev/hdh1 77348004 375092 73043820 1% /home none 775416 0 775416 0% /dev/shm This is a parallel installation with Windows XP which is on the first two harddisks which I would see as hda and hdb if Fedora Kernels came with NTFS-Support for mounting them into my system for reading only. I do not want to start a chit-chat about why this feature is not in Fedore-Kernels, but what I wonder about is if Windows XP resides on hda and hdb why Fedora (as well as SuSE, RedHat, Knoppix, Debian ...) is starting to acutally see the harddisks not with hda but hde? A "demsg"-extract for you ...
