Hi John,
are you having a private chat with yourself - or can any one
join in? :-D
What does
#dpkg --get-selections | grep ntfs-3g
give you?
A little more information about your "debian" might be helpful... :-)
Does it have a desktop? Does the desktop have a name? (xfce, kde, etc.)
What class of processor are you running? (i386, amd64 etc.)
Which "debian"? (lenny, sid, the one on my computer, etc.)
Cheers
