You will need to compile NTFS read support into the kernel. NTFS write support is a bad idea, but reading works just fine.

Well, first thing you need is the kernel source, if you don't already have it. I am not sure what the package is called, but there should be one available from Fedora.
There kernel source is usually found in /usr/src/linux.
There is a howto on this site here |
