NTFS usb pen/disk problem

[Guest]

No support for a pen/disk formatted in NTFS?

Failed to mount "PEN"
Unknown file system 'ntfs'

Not entirely surprising. It seems a lot of Linux implementations of NTFS support are still considered "experimental".

nope, think most "modern" linux versions tend to support ntfs throug libs (not via kernel)

prob with linpus is, that they took things out, they considered "unimportent" -

well in my eyes they where mostly wrong

besides that there is no point in using flash devices with ntfs, you could try the following:

install: ntfs-3g

but - problem with linpus: it uses something like fedora8 / red hat, but not completly. that means: ntfs support is
part of fedora for quite some time: means, you wont find any repositories, that have a ntfs (exept the "debug" versions)
due to it, beeing usually part of the distro...

one way would be, to format to fat32

one maybe, to change to fedora 8

I was just scrolling through the package manager and found that ntfs-3g is listed in there.
