ntfs problems

If you want to make your own rpm packages from source. Grab
kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.i386.rpm or whatever kernel
you want.
Get these two files from linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net

http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/build
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/kernel-ntfs.spec

copy all 3 into a directory.
chmod +x build     #makes it executable

./build kernel-ntfs.spec kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl.i386.rpm i386
athlon

This creates binary rpms for i386 and athlon but you can put in any
architecture.

Its good to do it this way in case you get a kernel early and noones put
out ntfs driver yet.

sweet as, give it a go
