does FC2 support NTFS ?

[Aly Dharshi]

I find it difficult to believe that Red Hat would actually ship NTFS modules in 
EL. Simply because there was/is a big stink about licensing issues and getting 
sued up the ying yang by Microsoft.

To the best of my knowledge FC 1 or 2 doesn't ship with the NTFS drivers. Unless 
you can prove otherwise.

Cheers,

	Aly.
