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 Jeff On Wed, 2003-12-31 at 12:18, Sturla Holm Hansen wrote: > AFAIK you have to have NTFS-support compiled into the kernel, IOW you > have to compile a new kernel with the support for NTFS or compile the > module for it and insmod it in your running kernel... > > Sturla > > On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 16:54, Randall Crunk wrote: > > Andy Hargreaves wrote: > > > To return to the original question... > > > > > > 1.
