ok wierd sense of linux still sucking and sticking with freebsd

problem: can not mount ntfs in redhat 9
sygnosis: when tried to create in fstab (/dev/hda1 /win ntfs umask=007,gid=201,defaults 1 0 )
error: mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
(all i want to do is mount my gf's winxp partition to my linux to get files off it and burn on cd)

Have you created a mount point yet?

As root create a mount point in /mnt and call it "Win" then try

/dev/hda1 /mnt/Win ntfs ro,auto,1 1

If this works then try umask,gid etc

If you use freeBSD, what on earth would posess you to install RH9? Why not Gentoo or something ?
