Adding/ Mounting NTFS partion in Fedora 11

The best way to mount an NTFS partition in Fedora 11 is:

su -c 'yum install ntfs-3g ntfs-config'

The ntfs-config package is as small as 367 kb. Once installed, simply take a backup of the existing fstab file, just in case if you happen to encounter some screw up!

cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.original

Now run:

su -c 'ntfs-config'

You will be presented with a nice UI and am sure, it is quite simple to understand what needs to be done, once the application is running :-)
