Loading NTFS partition from normal user
I'm having problems mounting my NTFS partition, I only manage to do it logged on as root. I would like access to that partition from my normal user at the KDE desktop, one click. Cannot find anything about it. Anyone know?

Add a user statement to the partition in your /etc/fstab, like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win ntfs noauto,user,exec 0 0
will mount /dev/hda1 at /mnt/win as NTFS partition. Replacing 'noauto' with 'auto' will automaticaly boot the partition at boottime. For explanation of syntax in fstab try "man fstab".
btw, could the bootscript create a human readable fstab? All these unaligned columns make you dizzy...

/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0
where:
/dev/hda1 is your ntfs partition
/mnt/hda1 is the mount point of said partition
ntfs is the partition type
noauto,users,exec,ro are necessary options
this is the really important part
uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix replace knoppix with your own username. if your username was bill, it would be: uid=bill,gid=bill
the 0 0 are options i'm not familiar with, but are necessary.
a warning: as of kernal 2.4.20 (the kernal knoppix installs) ntfs support is there, but writing to the partition can harm it, so don't.
i tore my hair over this myself until i checked a backup copy of fstab and found an entry where I only had to replace 'knoppix' with my username.
hope this helps!
*edit* can't spell, never could, especially at 4:20am
