NTFS RPM Install

[robyn001]

Hi, I am using FC3.
I am trying to install this RPM "kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.9-1.681_FC3-2.1.20-0.fc.1.2.x86_64.rpm" so that I can access my XP drives.......but when I do "YUM INSTALL" of that file......it goes through its thing like it is trying to install, but ends up saying "Nothing to Do".

Does anybody have a different method for installing this file?


Thanks,
Robyn

well if you already have the rpm file on your computer you don't need to use yum. open up the terminal and cd to the directory the rpm is in, and type:
rpm -ihv kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.9-1.681_FC3-2.1.20-0.fc.1.2.x86_64.rpm and you should be set. you'll also need to edit the fstab but let us know if it installs correctly first.

The file name may be wrong. Commands and files are case sensitive.

You can use rpm directly: rpm -Uvh kernel-module-ntfs*
