Completely side question I use sysutils/fusefs-ntfs to mount my vista partition do I need to change anything in my /etc/rc.d/* hierachy and/or /etc/fstab after installing win 7 (I use a direct call to ntfs-3g instead of via the mount patch [which doesn't work on 8.0-XXX it seems {I am on RC2 right now}]?
