Even easier - go to rpm.livna.org and follow the instructions to add
their repo to your yum config, then yum install kmod-ntfs. Nor
rebuilding of your kernel is needed. Bear in mind this still only gives

I currently do this on my main box. I created a seperate partition of 115+/- gig for visibility in both OSs in FAT32. I added livna to my repos and it didn't find the NTFS driver for me. Could be other issues though.

I find a better solution is to have a separate fat-32 partition for
shared files, but YMMV.
Good Luck
