| Markku has answered your main question, but you should be aware that
| writing to NTFS filesystems from linux can be dangerous(unless things have
| changed). Before you try any writing to the system partition( C: ?), you
should
| make sure that you have no problems by writing and readinging to/from
| another partition(if available) and back up the partition before you
| start. You could save yourself a lot of grief.
|
| The following is the help bit for NTFS write support from the kernel
config:
|
| CONFIG_NTFS_RW:
|
| If you say Y here, you will (maybe) be able to write to NTFS file
| systems as well as read from them. The read-write support in NTFS
| is far from being complete and is not well tested. If you say Y
| here, back up your NTFS volume first, since it will probably get
| damaged. Also, download the Linux-NTFS project distribution from
| Sourceforge at <http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/> and always run the
| included ntfsfix utility after writing to an NTFS partition from
| Linux to fix some of the damage done by the driver. You should run
| ntfsfix _after_ unmounting the partition in Linux but _before_
| rebooting into Windows. When Windows next boots, chkdsk will be
| run automatically to fix the remaining damage.
| Please note that write support is limited to Windows NT4 and
| earlier versions.

Thank you Dave for the additional infos, I think won't be necessary to write
to my local (ntfs) disks - basically only need RO access, if I need to write
any data then I can write to a shared directory in my (home) network -
writing to networked windows directories, is of course no problem.
One small point:
as I asked in the original text : "One last 'Q', assuming that the prob. can
be resolved, how can I change the
'fstab' to include the new file system / drive / partition?" - and to
(auto)mount at boot time?
Dave D.
