NTFS-3G Support for CentOS 5.1 Live

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!

You shouldn't try to compile it, just get the RPM for fuse-ntfs-3g
from Rpmforge. It works like a charm.

If you need help to setup Rpmforge, look here:
