I have been trying to mount my NTFS hard disk using the CentOS 5.1 Live USB
pendrive I created from the LiveCD.  I did an "fdisk-l" and see the
partition as /dev/sdb1, but when I try to mount it, I get an error stating
that NTFS is an unknown filesystem type.  I attempted to install the ntfs-3g
and fuse rpms, without any success (there were numerous dependancies and
could not get libc to install)..

Has anyone been able to successfully RW mount an NTFS filesystem using an
USB install, if its even possible, that is?

If not, are there any plans to include NTFS-3G support in the next release
of the Live CD?  Thanks!

First of all, I was able to use the 5.1 LiveCD to create a bootable USB (8G
Lexar FireFly) - thanks to all for your assistance.  Question - has anyone
been able to add NTFS support to an USB install?  It would be a nice to have
the ability to access NTFS (and Vista for that matter) disks for
troubleshooting and general access.  Any and all comments will be
appreciated.  Thanks!

I recently made a Live USB by using the directions in the LiveCD Trac.  It
works very well, but I was wondering if there is a way the partition  - in
my case, /dev/sda1, can be made writable. I tried changing the kickstart
file to mount everything RW, but it did not work.  I know I can always
create a second partition on the pendrive, but I would like all filesystems
accessible by both CentOS and Windows.  Any and all suggestions will be
appreciated.  Thanks!
