#16680 - 06/24/02 04:23 AM NTFS file reading
mtlhd Junior Member Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 67 Loc: Los Angeles,CA	I was wondering if the newer linux distros are able to read the NTFS file system. I recently installed win2K and I don't want to take any risks of fscking over my windows partitions trying to install linux again. Thanks for your time. _________________________ People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

I really don't want that to happen. Thanks again. _________________________ People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
