subject: knoppix 5.1 released w full NTFS read/write support

From: "Rich Gauszka" 

Unfortunately I have an Intel 965 chipset mb and get the dreaded
"Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem"  trying to boot it  as so many
other 965 owners have experienced.

ntfs-3g

NTFS-3G allows writing to NTFS partitions with almost no restrictions.
Being based on the Linux-NTFS project, NTFS-3G has been successfully tested
as "Filesystem-In-Userspace"-plugin in many installaions, and is
also being used for GNU/Linux-based virus scanners like
"Knoppicillin".

Like with all dynamically ram-buffered filesystems, there are some things
to be aware of when using NTFS-3G as well. If you access filesystems in
write mode, you should not just "switch off" the computer, or hit
the reset switch, because there CAN be loss of data this way. If files have
been written to disk, you should end KNOPPIX (when you decided to finish
your session) by a regular shutdown using the menu, which will be
acknowledged by the CD or DVD being ejected. (We just mention this here
because NTFS has meanwhile become very widespread, and if, for example, the
"Knoppix persistent image" option is active, or you are using
swapfiles on NTFS, there will be wrie access to your harddisk. When not
using these options, Knoppix will normally NOT write anthing to harddisk
unless explicitly requested!)
