INTRODUCTION
============
The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS
driver, which provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista filesystems. Almost the full
POSIX filesystem functionality is supported, the major exceptions are
changing the file ownerships and the access rights.
The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver
for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, and Haiku. It provides safe and fast
handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows
Vista file systems. Most POSIX file system operations are supported, and
full file ownership and permission support is also coming along fast.
The purpose of the project is to develop, continuously quality test and
support a trustable, featureful and high performance solution for hardware

==================
Make sure you have the basic Linux development tools and the full FUSE
package (http://fuse.sourceforge.net) is already installed correctly on

Linux: Make sure you have the basic development tools and the kernel includes
the FUSE kernel module. Then type:
./configure
make
make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.

If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be
read-write mounted for everybody the following way (unmount the volume if

it was already mounted, and replace /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows, if needed):
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
or
ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
If your Operating System vendor didn't setup your language specific settings
then you may also need to set the 'locale' mount option to make all filenames
