[nflug] mounting ntfs (Thanks)

[anthonyriga]

Thanks again for the help! I had other kernel-mods that must of conflicted after rpm -e reinstalled the livna repo it works.  My question is why with Fedora being the bleeding edge Distro for Redhat they dont include the module?  I read that mandriva debian suse include it why not Fedora. I have been testing ubuntu and might eventually  make the  switch.
