Re: Mounting ntfs partition to be user readable

[Simon Hepburn <sth@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Edit /etc/fstab so that you have a line like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>	<type>	<options>
/dev/hda1	/nicetry		ntfs	ro,user

Note the mount point. Make sure this dir exists or use another mount point if 
you prefer. Then

# mount /nicetry
