What an ab-so-fucking-lutely craptastic saga of pain and tears to find that answer too. The question? Baby Jesus wants to read his ntfs drives. That's all. It's not that world shaking a request I don't think. But you think I'd be having multiple orgasms for all the trouble it took me.

[EDIT: But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the fecking thing broke with the same "no aix module found" that the sources I d/l'ed from kernel.org did. Fucking shite.[1]

And while we're on the subject, just what in the fudge fucktory's manual o' fuckedness is the point of "Ok. Uncompressing linux"? Maybe I just haven't found that clue basket yet, but don't executables generally make pretty bad fodder for compression? And wouldn't compression just take time?

Also, wtf is the point of "redhat nash", other than making your boot take 10x as long?

And oh yeah, freebsd needs to support bigger fat32 drives, 'k?

/*Takes a half bottle of fuckitall and reboots into windows*/

[1] In contrast, getting openbsd to see my 200 gig fat32 partition (which freebsd chokes on as well!) was all of maybe 4 or 5 commands, including "mount". OpenBSD > *.

You're starting to sound like grumpy_sysadmin

That's what you get for using shit from Red-hat-mond.

Just use Debilian, like a sane person.
(Creating a 300 GB FAT32 partition took all the magic of cfdisk and mkfs.vfat -F 32. Dealings with ntfs are best handled via booting Knoppix.)

I'm getting frustrated by that, too.

I tried Ubuntu and Knoppix, and they won't boot or install correctly on my PC. So I have Fedora Core 4. It installed slick as can be.

But now I can't access my NTFS partitions where all the goodies live, and that sucks.

It would help if I knew more about my system's specs, I suppose. But the OS that came with it is Japanese XP Home with tons of crap pre-loaded. Can't understand a thing.

Lately I've begun to suspect I might have dual processors, which seems a bit surprising.

Ah, well. Some day Linux will be made simple for people like me.

Again, I had no problem doing this 3 years ago... I can't imagine that it got any harder.
