I just realized Puppy 2.0.0 is out. So I am currently downloading it. My question is about version 1.0.6. When I use mutt to mount a ntfs partition it mounts it read write.
Since writing to ntfs is not safe how do I change mutt to default to read only?
Some more info. I am actually trying to use Puppy to backup 'My Documents' folders on my WinXp laptop to a usb Cruiser drive, and I noticed it only backed up my administrator account and no others. How do I fix this? Maybe these questions are all a mute point. Once I get the current version of Puppy downloaded I'll try it.
Okay, I just burned Puppy 2.0.0 to cd and rebooted my laptop. When I mount my ntfs drive it mounts as read write. How do I change this to default to read only because I don't want to accidentally hose anything?
106 or 2.01 doesn't really mount ntfs r/w. They can only modify a file with out changing it's size. So no new files, no deleting files, no renaming files, no changing the size of files. Not much to worry about. Puppy 200 & 201 does have Fuse and can mount ntfs for a real R/W, but mut doesn't use it.
