Hi All,
wanted to create cd from iso files, but, remembered that I'd downloaded/saved the ISOs to file when in Windows(NTFS). How do I read them from Fedora2.? I could just boot up Knoppix3.7, and do a copy to a Linux readable partition, but, is there a way to read/copy from NTFS whilst already in FC2.? Cheers.

Mark, you can burn them from windows running in ntfs (if your sofware will burn iso's).
There's no problem with that. It doesn't get burnt as an 'ntfs file' or something...

Which doesn't really answer the OPs question...
See http://www.fedorafaq.org for the answer.

Hi All,
does gedit/fedora2 have problems with filenames with spaces..? Can't seem to open the following, /mnt/windows/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Templates/1041/address.doc. Keep getting a file doesn't exist error message. Cheers.

Linux (all versions) (or rather the shell, bash in this case) sees the white space as a break character and thus sees your line as 2 names.
You can disable that by surrounding the entire path to the filename with double quotes ( " ). Or you can use the autocomplete feature of the shell to tab past the space and it will escape the white space with a \ like ".../Program\ Files/...". OR you can type it with the escaped white space like I just showed.

Spaces are no good in file-names. Either enclose the whole path into <">, I.e. "/mnt/windows/Program Files/..." or escape the spaces with <>, I.e. /mnt/windows/Program\ Files/...
But all this is semi-autmoatic in decent shells. type your command and the first few characters of the path and then hit <TAB>. The shell will complete your path as far as it is unique and will automagically escape characters correctly for you.
Finally, in your own interest, please don't hijack threads -- If you have a new topic, don't reply to another topic's mail but create a new mail. Otherwise many people will not read your mail, especially on a crowded list like this one. I for an example only read the subjects and dive in on a few if the subject sounds interesting or there are no replies yet.

NO.
The FAQ at http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html has a lot of information about NTFS support in Linux (they after all are the developers).
So far it is read only.

If you are using the module from linux-ntfs.souceforge.net (sorry I did not see which you were told to use) it seems stable to me.
No it cannot be written (except very limited), see my earlier note where I referenced the FAQ at http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html .
What a lot of people do when they want to read/write to/from each os is create a fat32/vfat partition that then can be used read/write by both systems. Any data put in there from either Windows or Linux can be read/written from the other. Otherwise it is basically a one-way street.
