Seems like when I want to remove FUSE with YAST it won't work unless I also want to remove SSHFS & ENCFS (SSH file system and encrypted file system). I don't believe I use either of them, but they seem like they might be useful at some point. BTW, I'm using the AMD64 versions of 10.2.

I wonder why OPENSUSE is so far befind the curve with NTFS-3G. Seems like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. have pretty seamlessly integrated that stuff for many months already.

BTW, it seems to work. Hopefully it will be better behaved than NTFS-3G is on my i386 10.2 laptop. I forget how I got RW working, but every time it shut down OPENSUSE it dirted the NTFS volume and I couldn't mount it again until I had booted Windows. Since I almost never boot Windows it was just easier to mount the partition as RO NTFS in the FSTAB.
