This is not a bug, that's exactly how it is supposed to work. "Minimal Linux Live" is built with default kernel options. By default NTFS support is not enabled and if you want to enable it, then you need to tweak the kernel configuration. Try using Google and research what kernel options you need to enable in order to have NTFS support.

Then you need to place the NTFS related options in this file:

Actually this work has already been done in Ronny Kalusniok's fork of "Minimal Linux Live". You can check his changes here:
