[ltp] Captive Linux GPL NTFS Driver

[Michael Stilkerich]

As I said above, I read about captive in either Linux Magazine or c't
and they tested it and said it's really stable.

The Homepage says
As opposed to other projects this is currently the only software
supporting the full read/write access including the possibility to
create/delete files, modify directories etc.

I would give it a try if I were you..

Mike.
