[sf-lug] sf-lug Digest, Vol 21, Issue 20

[Tomer]

Why have to convince anyone to use linux? If they cant see the advantages
themselves... They probably never will, and will always blame you for any
little problem they have...

In my attempts to encourage the use of Linux I've successfully convinced a
friend to install Debian desktop on a dual boot; (he's not ready to cut the
umbilical cord completely and probably never will be.) In the process I've
discovered that NTFS can be mounted read only!
(Something that all of you probably already know.) I am able to go through
the rather tedious process of changing directory permissions as root and
drilling down to a file's parent directory and then copying it to the linux
file system where it can be useful but again only after changing permission
and ownership. All of this needs to be done as root. Once the file is
changed (as in edited by OpenOfficeWriter for example) I guess there's no
way to make it accessible by the windows system again; except perhaps via a
usb memory stick or some such device.
Does anyone know of a simpler way of "sharing" files between OSs sharing a
dual boot system?
