hi everybody!

sorry im new at this. loving knoppix (im on 3.4 and 3.6). but very inexperienced at linux and trying to learn, cause messing with windows through knoppix is quite the motivation. that said:

im trying to enable captive ntfs. the wizard doesnt work - gives me a read only error,searches some more, and then disappears without a trace. so i learned enough to grab the drivers from xp and i was gonna put em in my (persistent) home directory. but when i try to copy its all:

could not write file /home/knoppix/ntoskml.exe disk full

ive been messing with apt-get and had that fail on a similar sort of message (maybe theres some half built files floating around in my home dir that i cant see?), and after messing around a bit with the cmd line unsucessfully (i suck at it real bad but im learning i hope) i figured out that if i right click->properties on all the stuff in my home folder its about 7 megs but if i get properties from the desktop of the folder its pushing 30 megs - the size of my persistent home.

i tried rebooting cause i had just deleted a lost and found folder that appeared there - from what i can tell cause i did something screwy before and it saved files? - and maybe thats just telling me the size of my persistent home directory, but im flummoxed.

i can't even copy these (maybe 3 megs) files to the desktop. same error.

im about to try to do it without booting to my home directory, but as you can tell i have alot to learn so im open to whatever anyone has to say about whatever cause i got loads i need to figure out...
