Isn't it supposed to be safe to write to NTFS partitions now?

I hate to say it, but I am skeptical about the claim. I won't risk important data. It's bad enough that Windows messes them up. I will wait and see and experiment a bit, but I won't trust it until it has been proven in the field for a bit. The claim is "transparent write access for NTFS partitions (libntfs+fuse)". I would still put in a disclaimer "Use at your OWN risk!".

I see. What does it mean by transparent anyway?

Knoppix 5.0.1 minirt_usb6.gz for ISO boot from hdd
Hello,
I updated my boot ramdisk minirt_usb6.gz to boot Knoppix 5.01 from the DVD ISO image being located on the hdd.
No DVD-Rom required but a partition which can hold the +4GB ISO file: ntfs,ext2/3,reiser,... (but no fat16/32, sorry...)
cf: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...=103883#103883
Best Regards,
Gilles

Gilles,
I have not tried any of your minirt tools yet, and the DVD ISO is going to take a few days to show up here. But I'm wondering if when I do get it, does it seem likely to you that I would be able to use your tool to boot the ISO from a NTFS partition on an external drive connected by a firewire/Gilles pcmcia card in an HP notebook, or is that expecting too much?

Hi Harry,
No, it should work. That was one of my goals with booting from a USB dongle.
If you can access your ntfs partition via your 1394/pcmcia interface from a running knoppix (4.02 as an examples),
you will most likely be able to boot 5.01 from that same device after having updated your menu.lst accordingly.
Sincerely,
Gilles
BTW, the ext2 persistent home bug (ext2 partitions not recognized properly
because of a typo in the knoppix-autoconfig file) is still not fixed in 5.01.
But I have it patched (at run time using unionfs) in my minirt_usb6.gz.
FYI: The typo in the knoppix-autoconfig file: (ext3|ext3... --> ext2|ext3...)
# ext3|ext3|reiserfs|xfs) MOUNTOPTS="$MOUNTOPTS,noatime" ;;
> ext2|ext3|reiserfs|xfs) MOUNTOPTS="$MOUNTOPTS,noatime" ;;

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

Problems with 5.01
I am trying to boot the latest Knoppix CD (and DVD DVD), but the CD will not boot correctly. It hangs on the following message:
Network device eth0 detected, DHCP braodcasting for IP.udevd-event[3164]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver' failed
I have tried to use "knoppix nodhcp" cheat code but I get the same outcome.
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

Tuxmachines.org review
My friend SrLinuxx posted a review with screen shots at http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/7357
"The menus are overflowing with software choices. I don't recall when I've ever seen a more abundant list of applications. Everything from Development to Utilities, the Knoppix livedvd has it all - over 10 gigs of software. I have never seen such a collection of software in any distro before."
