mounting ntfs and fat32 partitions on debian

Below is a clear description of downloading the packages, installing
them and configuring them in fstab
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Installation On Debian Etch
First, download NTFS-3g. 2 packages are needed here: ntfs-3g and libntfs-3g. You can use wget to download them:
step 1: open the terminal and type the below lines ,if u are connected to the internet they will be automatically downloaded

wget http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/01/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/libntfs\
-3g0_0.0.0+20061031-6_i386.deb
wget http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/01/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/ntfs-3g\
_0.0.0+20061031-6_i386.deb

step 2:Then install the dependencies, type the below line in the terminal
sudo apt-get install fuse-utils libfuse2

step 3:Finally you can install ntfs-3g (using the 2 Debian packages you just downloaded) ,type the below lines in the terminal
sudo dpkg -i libntfs-3g0_0.0.0+20061031-6_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i ntfs-3g_0.0.0+20061031-6_i386.deb

step 4:Mounting partitions ,before mounting partitions you have create the points i.e you have to create a seperate folders in the /media for your partitions (for example /media/softwares )
To create folders for
eg. /media/softwares type mkdir /media/softwares in the terminal
Mounting partition is done quite simply.
For example, this command (one line):
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/windows -o umask=0,nls=utf8
In the above line /dev/hda1 indicates the hard drive which you are mounting ,be careful and type the correct drive with the correct mount point

step 5:Once you have established that this command work fine on your system, you can add an entry for it in /etc/fstab: type gksudo gedit /etc/fstab in the terminal the fstab file will be opened in write mode and u can edit the file... the fstab contains information of the hard drives which have to be mounted while booting.. add these lines at the bottom of the fstab file
(the below lines may vary according to ur partitions be careful
about that)
/dev/hda1 /media/softwares ntfs-3g umask=0,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda2 /media/windows ntfs-3g umask=0,nls=utf8 0 0
add all the windows ntfs partitions here

*** For adding fat(vfat in linux) partitions in the fstab file
/dev/hda5 /media/music vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
If you wish, you can unmount that partition in the standard way:
sudo umount /dev/sda1
* Tips
The output of
sudo fdisk -l | grep -i ntfs
will tell you the location of your windows partition.

using wine on redhat or fedora versions of linux

Wine is an open source implementation of the windows api ontop of X and opengl. The official homepage is located at http://winehq.org. The packages I maintain are split up to allow for smaller installations. Normal users utilizing the Fedora Extras repository should be able to use yum to install the packages.

  the following link provides you the process and steps to be followed to acheive the installation of
 wine on ur desktop

What is GNU/LINUX ?

" In the early days of computing, it was a standard practice for programmers to share software. However since the 1960s, software has been trapped in a battle of ownership and users have been prevented from sharing or modifying programs. By the 1980s, proprietary software became the norm and the software freedom was lost.
" The owners of software had erected walls to divide us from each other." These are the words of Richard M Stallman (RMS)., a celebrated programmer and an accomplished hacker. RMS quit his job at MIT's AI lab, to zealously campaign for safeguarding software freedom. In 1984, he launched the free software movement and started the GNU project to develop a free operating system called GNU (a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix"). The next year, he founded Free Software Foundation ( FSF) to promote free software. FSF promotes the use of GNU/Linux (oftenly mistakenly called 'Linux') based on the kernel developed by Linus Torvalds. ".

Moglen says "Free software is a fundamental requirement for a democratic and free society in which we are surrounded by and dependent upon technical devices. Moglen is closely involved with the Free Software Foundation, serving as general counsel since 1994 and board member from 2000 to 2007. He was responsible for drafting version 3 of the GPL. He has called on lawyers to help the Free Software movement, saying: "Those who want to share their code can make products and share their work without additional legal risks."

--Eben Moglen
