Hi,

Does anybody know how to install the latest version of ntfs-3g from
http://ntfs-3g.org/ in the latest version of Etch stable???

I just finished installing the latest version of "Etch" and want to
setup fstab for read/write access to a couple of XP NTFS partitions.

ntfs-3g seems to be the way I want to go but ntfs-3g isn't part of the
stable release of Etch so I downloaded the latest (stable) version of
ntfs-3g (1.1120) from the ntfs-3g.org web site and ran ./configure.

./configure told me that I needed to install a version of fuse>=2.6 for
it to continue ... but "fuse" (Filesystem in Userspace) is already
compiled as a module into Etch stable. I thought that version was 2.6
or better???

Fuse has a kernel component and a userspace component. Your
kernel version is > 2.6, but in Etch, libfuse and fuse-utilities are
version 2.5.x. Backports.org has fuse >= 2.6 for etch. And they
have ntfs-3g packages as well.
