You can find a kernel module at > http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net 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. Andy
