today i switched from fedora to debian, which i have found great. i was added a few depends and looked for ntfs-3g, wasn't there in any of them. this surprised me alot, since every linux distro i knew of came with it. i mounted my ntfs drive with mount -t ntfs /dev... /.... and it worked, except i noticed it was read-only, which i thought would happen. i dl the ntfs-3g .deb package from the site, tried to install, but i needed libc6 it said. i got that file too, and tried to install it, now it tells me it conflicts with tzdata.
i looked it up on line, i found a few other people with the same problem. It said i most likely mixed stable-testing- and unstable packages together.
Code:
cat /etc/debian_version
4.0
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r2 _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080103-00:44]/ etch contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r2 _Etch_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20080103-00:44]/ etch contrib main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
# deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
at one point i had two other depens added, both were stable and unofficial.
i also had deb
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main enabled for a while.
thanks - ct
