Steps to make my ntfs partition writable from Debian 4 (etch)

1. Downloaded two files (libntfs-3g5_1.710-1_i386.deb & ntfs-3g_1.710-1_i386.deb)
from here: http://www.stylesen.org/installing_ntfs_3g_ntfs_read_write_in_debian_etch
(By the next time this is read you may be able to use apt-get or synaptic, etc
to install ntfs-3g.)
2. After installing these two files and trying to mount, I got this error:
"/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g: /usr/lib/libfuse.so.2: version `FUSE_2.6' not found (required by /sbin ..."
The problem was that my version of fuse was too old.  Couldn't find an updated binary 
version for Debian Etch so I downloaded the latest tarred source from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684&package_id=132802
3. Placed this in a temp location, untarred it (tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz), changed into
the directory it made and follwed the directions in the README file, which were:
	./configure
	make
	make install
	modprobe fuse
4. Removed the link to the old fuse file (rm -f /usr/lib/libfuse.so.2) and created a link
to the new fuse file (ln /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so.2.7.0).
5. That seemed to work with the intial testing I performed.  I need to do some extensive
testing before recommending this to others.  Hopefully in the next few months the Debian 
community will get this all updated so we can use apt or apt related tool to install this
more easily.
6. Currently when I mount an ntfs drive (e.g. mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /target) I do get
a warning message.  
WARNING: Deficient Linux kernel detected. Some driver features are
         not available (swap file on NTFS, boot from NTFS by LILO), and
         unmount is not safe unless it's made sure the ntfs-3g process
         naturally terminates after calling 'umount'. If you wish this
         message to disappear then you should upgrade to at least kernel
         version 2.6.20, or request help from your distribution to fix
         the kernel problem. The below web page has more information:
         http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#fuse26

More testing will tell me if I have any problems. BE AWARE: FROM WHAT I HAVE
READ, A WINDOWS SYSTEM CAN BE RUINED IF THIS DOESN'T WORK.  BOTTOM LINE IS,
TEST THOROUGHLY!!!
