When I plug it into my openSUSE laptop, it mounts fine and I can browse the contents (with Konqueror, for example). But it does not let me drag files to the drive because it does not mount the drive with ntfs-3g support by default.
Is it possible to have the drive mounted with ntfs-3g support automatically every time it's plugged in with it's own permanent mount point (like /mnt/wd/)? If so, how?
Try with ntfs-config*

Thanks. I installed the package successfully, but I don't see how it helps to mount the drive with ntfs-3g. According to the homepage, I should see a box pop-up when I plug the drive in giving me the option to be able to write to the drive, but that doesn't happen here. I *do* have ntfs-3g installed and can write to the drive if I mount it manually from a console.
