Originally posted by contrasutra Slackware comes w/ the NTFS patch applied by default.
Just mount an NTFS partition and your good to go.
are u sure? i did a "cat /proc/filesystems" and ntfs was no where on the list...
ROFL @ "it can play mp3s" hahah, redhat is stupid i agree, but that prob was easily solved by getting it with apt-get w/rpms
anyway, is "cat /proc/filesystems" the correct way to check if ntfs is supported? if so, why is it not supported for me, i chose "full" for install options
Originally posted by gerghk argh, but i was always taught to use "cat /proc/filesystems" to check if my kernel supported the ntfs filesystem....
so, although problem solved, why is ntfs not listed when i use "cat /proc/filesystems"
o and btw, write is still not supported eh?
By default ntfs is compiled as a module, that is why you didn't see it in /proc/filesystems. Since you haven't mount the ntfs partition, the kernel module is not loaded.
