+PRELINKED BINARY VERSION
+========================
+
+Statically prelinked versions for X86 are compiled with gcc 4.1.2 and
+prepared as an upgrade to the ntfs-3g shipped with the live-CD Knoppix 5.1.1.
+The statically prelinked versions for Sparc are compiled with gcc 4.0.0.
+Both are restricting to using glibc 2.3.2 and should be usable on
+virtually any configuration since kernel 2.6.20 having a fuse kernel
+module (fuse.ko) installed.
+
+They can be used like ordinary versions. Just copy the appropriate
+executable file into a readable directory, set the executable flags and
+start as root with the mount arguments :
+
+	linked-ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
+or
+	sparc-ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
