Yes, but that means I've got to figure out howto mount that ntfs 
partition.  I've downloaded an ntfs kernel-module, but ndi where to put 
it so that it would be loaded automaticly and used for the mounting. It 
has a name about 100 yards long too.

kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5-2.1.26-0.rr.10.5.i686.ko

ATM its sitting in ~/Desktop where FF put it (thats a PITA, why doesn't 
it open a 'where do I put it requestor'?) and modprobe can't find it 
useing the 
"modprobe ./kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5-2.1.26-0.rr.10.5.i686.ko"
syntax, from a terminal cd'd to ~/Desktop, which has worked before I 
believe, but haven't tried lately enough to be sure.

So where in the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel tree should I put this 
ntfs driver?

stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
