TESTING WITHOUT INSTALLING
=========================
Newer versions of ntfs-3g can be tested without installing anything and
without disturbing an existing installation. Just configure and make as
shown previously. This will create the scripts ntfs-3g and lowntfs-3g
in the src directory, which you may activate for testing :
./configure
make
then, as root :
src/ntfs-3g [-o mount-options] /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
And, to end the test, unmount the usual way :
umount /dev/sda1
