Mount ntfs

[Jeff Woods]

If you don't want re-compile the kernel you can download the ntfs kernel
module as an rpm from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/fedora1.html

They just release an updated module for Fedora 2.4.22-1.2135.

Install the rpm and you should be able to mount the ntfs partition
*read-only* (mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs)

Your /etc/fstab should set the "umask" to allow all users access:

/dev/hda1  /mnt/ntfs  ntfs  owner,ro,umask=000,utf8 0 0
