Hi,
I see... thanks for the info. I'm curious, then, how did these modules get made?

The module fits only 1 specific kernel. If you build your own custom kernel, then it only fits that kernel and not i.e. the Fedora shipped kernel. Run a "locate ntfs.ko" and you will see that the module is only in 1 kernel modules directory, the one for your custom kernel.
You may use the NTFS modules from
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/downloads.html
and you won't need to compile your own kernel to get NTFS support.
