+TESTING WITHOUT INSTALLING
+=========================
+
+Newer versions of ntfs-3g can be tested without installing anything and
+without disturbing an existing installation. Just configure and make as
+shown previously. This will create the scripts ntfs-3g and lowntfs-3g
+in the src directory, which you may activate for testing :
+
+	./configure
+	make
+
+then, as root :
+	src/ntfs-3g [-o mount-options] /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
+
+And, to end the test, unmount the usual way :
+	umount /dev/sda1
