I was not aware that it works with NTFS partitions! I've never tried
that, since I have not any around. I was aware that there's some sort
of NTFS read-write support in the systemrescuecd distro. There's a
patch to the kernel available through their site; I don't know what else
it requires; perhaps something in user-space? If that all is Free,
perhaps Debian can use it?
