im sure this has been asked before, but i need some clarification. i have FC3 and this is the current kernal version: 2.6.10 - 1.741_FC3. when i run:
"mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /home/win "
i get this error,
"mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernal"
this kernal is the latest update i recieved and was lead to believe that it came with NTFS support, but maybe not. any help is much appreciated. btw, here is a copy of my fstab:

im not sure how to load modules. i tried various commands like modprobe and lsmod, but i do not have those commands installed. i then went to add the modules package, but once i tried to install them i got several required package errors. after trying to get all of the required packages i got stuck at a prompt that told me there was a file conflict so one of them could not be installed. anyways, what is the proper way to load a module?
