@ Werner

I must apologize. I have not chosen my words very well.
i meant to say that perhaps the difference between my LiveCD and my LiveUSB
in regard to ntfs-3g-ng MAY be explained by the fact that before I use Synaptic
on the LiveUSB, my first order of business is to RELOAD. Not UPDATE, of course.

That's just a guess. I don't really care now, since I think ntfs-3g is the right answer.

I have established another thread concerning re-mastering, I hope you will join me there.

Best Regards, utu
