You were doing something way wrong, then.  :-)

NTFS support is *not* included with RedHat.  If you want it, you go 
download the module, which, AFAIK, is only released in the Read-Only 
format.  To get write support for NTFS, which is *very* experimental 
with the 2.4.x series kernels (and simply very very limited with the 2.6 
series), you'd have to recompile your kernel to support it, and ignore 
all the warnings about how it can, and probably will, mess up your NTFS 
partition bigtime.

If someone could make a boot-floppy with Linux and SETI@home
in the startup, I would be all for it. Maybe it aready exists?

I'm not sure if it does or not, but it would be very simple to 
accomplish.

You could use Tom's rescue disk as a base, with a (n even more) paired 
down kernel, most of the utilities removed, and SETI@Home put there 
instead.  You'd need at least 24MB of RAM to run that effectively, 
though, I would think.  Probably 4MB for the kernel, a 2MB RAM disk for 
SETI@Home, and at least 16MB for the client itself.

You'd have to use the old 3.03 static client, though, as glibc (which 
3.08 depends on) isn't available on such a small setup.
