of course you can do that - Red Hat doesn't compile that in by default.

Probably helps to know which flavor of Red Hat you are using but in
general, your options are...

- compile a kernel that has ntfs support (manual effort - needs to be
done for each new kernel)

- grab the rpm for your kernel to install the module...
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-ntfs/>

- install http://dag.wieers.com/packages/ntfsprogs/
for your specific setup

but the easiest way to do that on Fedora system is

yum --enablerpo-dag install ntfsprogs

and in fact, my suggestion to install 'SMART' would make that really
simple...

<http://smartpm.org>

download install smart, smart-gui, smart-update

after you go through and pick repo's, do a Find for 'ntfs' and it will
allow you to pick it from Dag's repo.
