Greetings

Well... I promised that the first thing I would do, once I had got online with Linux, would be to post a message here...

Whew... after a few sleepless nights, I am finally up and running, and here is the first of MANY questions...

OK.... how do I recomplie my Kernel (Redhat 6.1, KDE as X of choice) to allow me to mount NTFS drives? Is it possible? What do I download, and how do I implement?

Thanks

See, I knew I'd get you over to the dark side soon enough.

Okay, I'm not entirely sure, because surprisingly enough support for a MS only filesystem being supported on Linux isn't easy to find...

I think that it's been supported since the 2.1.x kernels, as a module. I think you'll have to recompile the kernel.

Here's the kernel howto which walks you through the recompiling, or compiling a new one.

Have fun!
