My primary question is how can I mount an NTFS partition on a SL 4
system.

Now I think I need to recomplie the kernel with the NTFS module.
This leads me to the problem that there is no kernel src rpm as
mentioned in the release notes
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40/i386/SL.documentation/
RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en

"In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate
       package for the kernel source code when that source code already
       exists in the kernel's .src.rpm file, Scientific Linux 4.x no
       longer includes the kernel-source package. Users that require
access
       to the kernel sources can find them in the kernel .src.rpm file.
To
       create an exploded source tree from this file, perform the
following
       steps (note that <version> refers to the version specification
for
       your currently-running kernel):

         1. Obtain the kernel-<version>.src.rpm file from one of the
            following sources:

               o The SRPMS directory on the appropriate "SRPMS" CD iso
image

               o The FTP site where you got the kernel package"

I can not see the kernel src.rpm on the SL4  ftp site, am I looking in
the wrong place?

Any short cuts?

Thanks Pete
