Quick question:

   I just made my new laptop dualboot (guess I'm weakening in my old
age) with Win2K and RH9.  I want to mount the NTFS partition when I'm
in Linux.  'mount(8)' indicates that it can handle HPFS/NTFS arguments
in the -t option.  Alas, mount fails when I give it either HPFS or
NTFS (in lowercase) says that the kernel doesn't handle these file
systems.  Is this the way RH9 comes out of the box?  And will I have
to recompile something (mount, the kernel, what?) to be able to do
this?  Have I missed something here?
