[KLUG Members] Linux and NTFS delete

[Eric Beversluis]

Dwayne,
    
A good idea. The manual uninstall directions have one removing the files
before editing the registry, but it might work doing the registry first.
I'm kind of focused now on trying the ntfs-3g approach with a Knoppix
disk. If we find that this works, it would be a useful addition to our
arsenal of tools, those of us who have to live with XP.
