I think it would be great that along with the NTFS support if you could include the Ofline NT Password & Registry Editor. This would greatly help me fix hosed windows machines with my wallet. Er, the business-card CD that's inside, what were you thinking? :p

Thanks.

You need the binary driver for 2.6.x kernels (2.6.7 on the bootisk right now, but a lot 2.6-series drivers may load OK. Or not. Try!)
I'd suggest trying this with DSL-N

That's referring to generic 3rd party drivers. Mostly it's geared for SCSI drives that are not supported by the vanilla kernel. Please read again the whole FAQ section from which you took the quote. The only thing mandatory in the kernel is the NTFS write support, and only if your disks use NTFS. If you have FAT/FAT32 you're home free. I know that NTFS support is included in DSL, I just don't know if is rw or ro. I don't have a machine on which to check it out either.

chntpw (the name of the utility) itself is purely a userland utility that reads and writes the registry hives via vanilla system calls therefore there are no technical barriers for it to be included in the DSL distro.

I would use DSL-N, but it won't fit on an CC-CD.

Oh, I just thought you would've wanted the whole works - since it would be a recovery utility (was a bit misleading I suppose).

DSL has RO ntfs capability... even now, RW in linux is still kind of flaky, but I hear it's coming along :)
