+    <para><acronym>NTFS</acronym> (New Technology File System) is a
+      proprietary journaling file system developed by &microsoft;.  It
+      has been the default file system in &microsoft; &windows; for
+      many years.  &os; can mount <acronym>NTFS</acronym> volumes
+      using a <acronym>FUSE</acronym> file system.  These file systems
+      are implemented as user space programs which interact with the
+      &man.fusefs.5; kernel module via a well defined

+	<para>Before using a <acronym>FUSE</acronym> file system we

+
+	  <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kldload fusefs</userinput></screen>
+
+	<para>Add this line to <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>

+
+      <step>
+	<para>Install the actual <acronym>NTFS</acronym> file system

+
