No. Not to any degree. I recently discussed this with the Red Hat guru who taught the RHCE seminar and exam locally. The Microsoft NTFS file system common to all the NT family (cf 2000, XP) is closed and proprietary so isn't likely to be included soon. Partition Manager or their more expensive Partition Magic will handle NTFS partitioning and then Red Hat can proceed. That was one of the problems on this laptop that delayed getting 7.3 installed. (the remaining problem is patching the HP linmodem drivers for the 2.14 kernel so I can get a modem going outside XP). FWIW, I told the Red Hat guy about Sam's "Teach Yourself Linux" coming with a version of Partition Manager free on their CDROM, and I think SuSe's YAST might handle the NTFS partitioning problem. Is anybody familiar with other alternatives? I'm pretty sure there is not a free option yet, but one may appear before long. Note that this basic disk file incompatibility with NTFS is likely to make all file exchange impossible between XP and Red Hat unless one makes a small FAT32 partition that can be used as temporary storage by the Win XP programs. Red Hat only knows about the FAT disk format for Windoze. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Tim Wilson > Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 3:10 PM > > Hi everyone, > > Subject line says it all.
