ok i will admit im a bit of a linux newb but i have played with knoppix
for about a year now and i finally decided to set up a machine with
actual debian on it so i downloaded the latest testing distro(14CDS,
Whew) and installed them...i got it all running and i got gnome up and
going but i have a problem i cant figure out how to mount my NTFS
partition with my music and videos on it so i can watch them in linux
i did this so far

su
******** <- my password not actual length so dont try anything
mkdir /mnt/hdb1
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1

so it mounts then i go into it in the shell window and it works..then i
go back to natulis (SP?) and i try to navigate to the folder and it says
i dont have permission to the folder...what am i doing wrong??? please
help me.
