Installing NTFS support in CentOS 5.5

These are my notes from my experience installing support for NTFS in CentOS 5.5 (x64).

Add RPMFORGE to the YUM Repository database
1. Install the repository's key
  1. cd /tmp
  2. wget "http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt"
  3. rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
2. Add the repository
  1. (still in /tmp) wget "http://rpmforge.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm"
  2. rpm -i --test rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
  3. rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Install the NTFS packages
1. yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
2. yum install ntfsprogs
Test by plugging in a USB drive with an NTFS partition
