    SUSE 9.2 is very old. NTFS writing is through ntfs-3g and fuse. You would have to upgrade to a newer release to get it, as I'm not sure that a kernel that old would work with fuse/ntfs-3g.

    SUSE is currently at release 11, I believe 9.2 is close to five years old now.

    Actually, I think you can get it to work with Fuse or the NTFS wrapper, but either method is really dangerous to write with (I found out the hard way; even renaming a file could cause it to disappear or set a hard link, real unreliable and inconsistent). If you need to write to NTFS, you really do need to upgrade to a distro that has the 3g driver.
    You just WON the game!
