Also you can find useful info here (a list of dozen's of How-to guides for
Linux).

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html

Also, once you have the NTFS modules compiled and loaded, you need to add
a line to /etc/fstab to automatically mount the partition on every boot,
something like this :

/dev/sda1 /drive_c ntfs auto,ro,gid=500,uid=500,umask=0007 0 0


The link that Bruce gave is a good one, but it's very out-dated in regards
to NTFS. Current kernel modules work fine with NTFS. Do NOT try to use an
NTFS drive in RW mode. It's not safe and you can lose all data on the
drive. Stick to RO.

Ummm---On re-reading this, I see I made a really bad typo. I said "NTFS"
when I should have said "SMP" as in "NTFS works fine with SMP kernels".

Sorry 'bout that...
