I want to acces ntfs partition in linux. I find rpm for that n its working perfectly (read only access).

Without ntfs rpm installation and without recompiling Kernel ,how I can enable ntfs (Using modules).

without putting yourself in major danger of damaging your NTFS filesystem you won't get write access to NTFS. apparently support has substantially improved in kernel 2.6.15.6 but i would still recommend leaving it a few months beofre thinking about it, if ever.

yea , u right..but I m using 2.4 Kernel n U didnt mention here without recompiling a kernel How I can add Modules for ntfs?

i don't believe it's possible, and again unless you're on the very latest 2.4 kernel, 2.4.32 i think, NTFS writing is still a very bad idea, and i've no idea if the latest 2.4 is even reliable anyway. it may be that your distribution contains a kernel module package sepreate to the kernel which you could install but i doubt that this is the case, and you must compile kernel modules for the right kernel exactly, you can't just throw them around the place.
