mount ntfs

[Ahmad]

hi all
      i wanted to mount the ntfs without any installing the rpms or by patching ... but by changing the kernal ... means that what changing are required in the kernal to mount the ntfs.

For that You have to upgrade your kernel..

You have to install Kernel-source rpms  from CD or DVD.after that
follow these steps
1 .go to /usr/src/linux-2.4 (kernel-version of ur system)
2. make mrproper
3. make oldconfig
4 make xconfig
{ enable the options ,that u want to turn on, here u can choose filesystem->ntfs->enable ntfs read support)
5 .make dep
6.make clean
7. go to /usr/src/linux2.4/makefile
8 .change EXTRAVERSION="any new kernel name u want to give"
9. make bzImage
10. make modules
11. make modules_install
12. make install
13. reboot
after these steps Mounting of ntfs will work
