If you have the livna repository enabled (you really should!), the simplest thing is yum install kernel-module-ntfs To enable the livna repository, in /etc/yum.repos.d create a file called livna.repo containing the following: [livna] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.lvn enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
