I am running Archlinux/Fluxbox on an eee and wish to add vlc, but am running low on space. I can easily mnt and manipulate windows shares. How would I go about installing vlc on a Windows share instead of the default bin or sbin?

Would I have to partition and format part of the windows hdd in ext3 first? If so, would windows even be able to share it? Or can linux install onto ntfs?

If you are talking about network shared folders, the on-disk filesystem - NTFS, ext4 - doesn't matter. All Linux sees is the CIFS protocol. – grawity Sep 2 '11 at 15:22
