    Question How Can I Write To An Ntfs Partition In Suse 10.1:fuse & Ntfs-3g Install Prolems??

    Hallo!I have installed Suse 10.1 i586 and Windows XP in my machine.Thus I have an NTFS partition.I was hoping to make the Suse Linux have read write access rights to the NTFS partition.How do I go achieving this?

    I have researched and have found that one needs libfuse , fuse , ntfs-3g , ntfs-3g-debuginfo , ntfs-3g-devel , ntfs-config to enable read write of an NTFS partition.I am able to install the following rpms that I downloaded from

    Index of /repositories/filesystems/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586

    libfuse2-2.7.1-2.1.i586.rpm

    ntfs-3g-1.328-2.11.i586.rpm

    ntfs-3g-devel-1.328-2.11.i586.rpm

    ntfs-3g-debuginfo-1.328-2.11.i586.rpm

    ntfs-config-1.0.1-5.1.i586.rpm

    Unfortnately,when I tried to install fuse-2.7.1-2.1.i586.rpm I got the
    following response.

    warning: fuse-2.7.1-2.1.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b9d6523
    error: Failed dependencies:
    licenses is needed by fuse-2.7.1-2.1.i586

    How do I solve this problem?Is licenses an rpm or what should I do?

    Also in my etc/fstab file ,my Windows XP NTFS partition is represented as below

    /dev/sda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

    I was hoping to have the NTFS permanently mounted with r/w access for Suse.Please give me THE EXACT FORMAT of how I should alter the statement above to enable the NTFS partition be r/w to Suse Linux.

    Lastly,I unable to run the ntfs-config software to generate its GUI dialog box after I have installed it.How do I solve this problem?

    Please respond to my requests as soon as possible and I will be infinitely grateful.Thanks in advance.
