Hello! Regarding my original question about NTFS what i wanted to ask is if it is possible to associate in some manner the linux kernel to ntfs because every time i have to upgrade the linux kernel the previous version of linux-ntfs stops working and i've to download and set it up again. I'm searching for a solution like mandrake/mandriva and ubuntu/kubuntu provides with their distribution. For your information i'm a linux newbie (i've been using it for almost 5 months) and i'm still learning to work with this operating system unfortunatly i've two hdd using the ntfs file system and can't get rid of them right now.
