Am I imagining things here? I was able to mount NTFS on Fedora until
upgrading the kernel to 2.4.22-1.2140 or maybe 2149, not sure.

Everyone's talking as if it was never supported, but I can assure you it
was. I didn't see any announcements about dropping NTFS support, but
until a few weeks ago I was definitely able to mount my XP NTFS
partition read-only with a standard Fedora kernel.
