[wplug] RE: only for people with time(about linux)

[Burt E Reany]

   More details;

  A.   "kdeinit' fails on boot because it requires 82mb of ram, and I don't
have enough - so I'm at the command prompt, as root..
  B.   The standard "mount -t ntfs -o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1" has always
worked: it lets me "cd" to anywhere on the hard disk filesystem.
              --> "mount -l" shows "/UNIONFS/dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type
ntfs (rw)", so it should be writable.
              --> "df -k /*" shows the ntfs filesystem info, as does "df -k
/mnt/hda1/*".
  C.  doing a "chmod 777" for every level directory up to the target file
gives a "drwxrwxrwx" for that directory after the command.
  D.  doing a chmod 555 for the file to be accessed  gives "-rw-rw-rw-" for
the file.
  E.  doing an "rm /mnt/hda1/WINDOWS/system32/freecell.exe" gives
"Operation not permitted"

   I'm really curious as to what the right-click menu option does to fix
this.

Thanks again - and Happy ( Please insert your preferred term here)!!!

Also, I think Knoppix gives you a right-click menu option on the drive
icon that says something to the effect of "make this read-write".
That's what I usually do.

Thanks,
