There is also a wiki entry on NTFS partitions here.

I just skimmed the article, but it looks pretty good. Section 4 is about mounting NTFS partitions, which is what your question is. That section discusses both manually mounting the partition, and modifying fstab so it is automatically mounted at boot time. However, I think the article may be a little out of date wrt the driver version. I think Ubunutu 7.04 should be using the most current driver, which I think will support both reading and writing. Your mount man page should contain up-to-date info.

To view the man page, type:

EDIT: Sorry about my reference to Ubuntu. I go this thread confused with another thread.

You really should get a newer distro than Red Hat 9, as it's old and out of date now.
