NTFS-3G support for DSL Linux

NorthBear · Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:30 pm Post subject: NTFS-3G support for DSL Linux

Damn Small Linux (DSL) supplies the "fuse" driver for filesystems in user space. The supplied
ntfs driver will only mount NTFS filesystems as read-only. To get around this problem, we need
ntfs-3g.

The DSL archives don't have ntfs-3g and the Debian archives for DSL's dpkg don't have it either.
What to do? I compiled ntfs-3g and have created my own "ntfs-3g.dsl" package. Works great, just
mount your NTFS filesystems like this:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

This is for the lastest DSL with a kernel of 2.4.31 ... just change the name from ntfs-3g.tar to ntfs-3g.dsl
and put it in a "mydsl" directory on your pendrive or burn it to a CD in a "mydsl" directory.

Since this is all user space stuff, it will work for other kernel versions, provided the "fuse" driver in
the kernel is up-level enough.

How do I use ADSL to send fax with a computer that has 56k modem? I used to use my 56k modem to send fax with dial up internet. I am now using ADSL. I installed fax using windows xp. When I tried sending a fax, it comes up in the fax console Outbox but does not go through (does not appear in the Sentbox). When I click the Receive now icon I get this message "There are no fax devices. Please install a modem that supports fax operations".

NB, is there much development going on at DSL these days?

You can do faxing online now you don't need a fax device.
I use a company called metrofax.com. Their internet fax service runs about $13 /mo. If you are not doing a large amount of faxing there are some free services out there that do the same thing but they can be glitchy and not as reliable.

Hope this helps!

Cheers
Victor
