have you got any tips for people who don't want to wait til then
to
access their ntfs partitions, and want to compile the ntfs module for
their standard redhat kernel? i had a go at it but building the modules
from the source resulted in a new /lib/modules folder for my 'custom
kernel' which of course i hadn't built.
Assuming you have the kernel source that matches version of kernel you are
running all you have to do is edit the toplevel Makefile
/usr/src/linux-xx/Makefile and remove the 'custom' from EXTRAVERSION = ...
For example:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 18
EXTRAVERSION = -5custom
If running 2.4.18-5 then just take the custom portion off of EXTRAVERSION.
I have the steps to create the module w/o compiling the entire kernel
somewhere if need that let me know.
Thanks,
