* Debian etch.

Find your ntfs partition:

  $ sfdisk -l

or

  $ fdisk -l

** Read only.

As root:

  $ mount -t ntfs -o ro,utf8,umask=333 /dev/sd<x><y> /mnt/ntfs

where <x> is drive letter as [a-z], <y> is partition number as [1-4]|5|6|...

** With write access.

Install ntfs-3g. It can be found in sid (backports).

To do that install packages `fuse-utils', `libfuse2', `libntfs-3g', `ntfs-3g'

(in such order).

Add some thing like

  deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main

to /etc/apt/source.list to get access to backported packages and update package database:

  $ apt-get update

and install throw aptitude packeges. Also you can manually download and install this

packeges throw `dpkg --install'.

Users from `fuse' group can now mount NTFS volume:

  $ mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw,utf8,force,gid=windir,dmask=002,fmask=113 /dev/sd<x><y> /mnt/ntfs

For help see NTFS-3G(8).
