What I do wish Fedora had was a better way to explain why things didn't work interactively. For instance when a user attempted to access a NTFS partition a warning stating that there are patent issues preventing support of NTFS partitions in Fedora for legal reasons, and a link to more information, codeina style. I don't have a problem with linking to fluendo as long as we link to any other available legal solutions as well. Nothing motivates people to take action like a hit to their pocket book.
Ahem. Seems you haven't gotten the memo on NTFS # yum info ntfs-3g Installed Packages Name : ntfs-3g Arch : i386 Epoch : 2 Version: 1.1120 Release: 1.fc8 Size : 288 k Repo : installed Summary: Linux NTFS userspace driver Description: The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation Linux NTFS driver. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing file ownership, access right. Technically it’s based on and a major improvement to the third generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements include functionality, quality and performance enhancements. ntfs-3g features are being merged to ntfsmount. In the meanwhile, ntfs-3g is currently the only free, as in either speech or beer, NTFS driver for Linux that supports unlimited file creation and deletion. ---- Rahul -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
