The think about NTFS ( if you prefer New Technology File System, well it
was new when it was introduced back in 1995 ( i recall it with Windows NT 3.5 it could be even older though , the "old" was File Allocation Table , also known as FAT ) is that it is not supported by
default by any Redhat Linux flavour i have ever seen because the proper
driver ( module ) was not compiled with the kernel .
So all that has to be done is to compile the extra module in order to
support the reading of an NTFS file system ( writing , to the best of my
knowledge is still dangerous !!! ) and then insert it to the kernel with the help of the insmod command .
I don't know which rpm you installed . It's function though was to insert the proper module to the kernel. Rick Stevens a member of the
Redhat-Install mailling list and i think this one has a web page
( www.rhil.net/kernelstuff/modules.html ) which provides both the modules and the instructions you have to follow in order to use them , so you can read / or even read and write on an NTFS file system .
