[nflug] NTFS Partitions And RHEL 5.2

[Tony E - Jaraeth]

My bad, those packages are in the rpmforge repository:

http://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using

Visit there to get the repo installed and then it should show up in your 
yum search.  One package I should add to the list that will show up as a 
requirement anyhow:  'fuse'.

Happy installing...
