An earlier ? by MikeyMike on reading an NTFS Partition fron FC2 interested me. So, I followed the suggestions of the replies (thanks cadj and Michael K). I downloaded the NTFS RPM from Sourceforge and attempted to install it but, this is all that happened. Can someone explain what this means and what I can do about it? Remember, I am fairly new at this, as much detail as possible will be greatly appreciated.
[root@localhost robert]# rpm -ivh kernel-ntfs-2.6.8-1.521.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel = 2.6.8-1.521 is needed by kernel-ntfs-2.6.8-1.521
Thanks, That was a big help with finding the kernel ver. and then getting the correct patch, which installed just fine.
I still cannot figure out how to read the NTFS partition though
Hey, It's a wonder what a little experimenting and digging will do.
I answered my own ?, but thanks for the support, I'm sure I'll need you again sometime.
