Re: problem configuring modem & mounting ntfs
you may download rpm from http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/data-fax.htm which has been tested with RH 7.1. hope that it works on Rh 8 (i think that it should). also check http://www.linmodems.org/ for detailed information.omarmasood wrote: i have installed redhat linux 8.0 but having problem in configuring modem

since most of the softmodems or winmodems are not *true* modems, i would urge you to invest in an external (serial port, and not USB) modem.
to the best of my knowledge, redhat does not support NTFS mount *officialy*. [ as a corollary RH-derivate distros may not have support too. among the popular non-RH distros, debian and mandrake do have NTFS support.] check "Linux NTFS RedHat Page" at http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html to download rpm/.o for a number of redhat versions including RH 8.i am also not being able to mount ntfs partitions , the message is "bash:fs ntfs not supported by kernel"
beware that *at the moment* "read only" is the safest bet for NTFS mounting on linux; "read/write" is like playing with fire. in any case, many drivers and implementations won't allow you to mount NTFS as R/W.

Back up your data before doing this.
You would never know unless you do something on your own.
As someone once said,
There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

u have to
aoa
for motorola modem u have got the rom only for the kernel usually with rh 7.1 so u cannot use it with any other kernel version.
for ntfs assess either u have to compile the kernel of u have to insert the moule for ntfs ..till now readable access is availabe with ou any fear abut writing to ntfs from linux is still now appreciated which involve of partition damage.
btw which motherboard u have got..?
if have u tried mouting ntfs using knopics??

I believe you're right. The module on linux-ntfs.sf.net is the way to go for RH.nafri wrote:if wrote:Aslam-o-Aliakum,
Try Knoppix (Kernel) for accessing NTFS... thx
i am lost for words here as i don't think that is possible to use "knoppix kernel" on RH 8. or is it? remember that knoppix is based on debian, and it does not gel with redhat.

NTFS can be accessed in redhat!
By default ntfs support is not configured in redhat.YOu need to recompile your kernel and when running tha make xconfig part, you should select the support ntfs option.
Then use this command:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdaNO /mnt/mountpoint
IN short,
1.To access a fat or fat 32 partition (read write)
mount -t vfat /dev/hdaNO /mnt/mountpoint
2.To access ntfs:
Check if ur kernel supports ntfs by running this command.If it maps it then fine:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdaNO /mnt/mountpoint
if it gives error, it means ntfs support is not configured and you need to recompile you kernel and select the support ntfs option
I am running windows xp sp1 on ntfs, redhat 9 dualboot and i recompiled my kernel for ntfs.Works like a charm
If u need any more help, feel free to contact me.

omar, did u try accessing it from the network interfaces panel alongwith the eth0 interfacing?
also try finding an rpm for ur modem at www.rpmfind.net the best and largest index of rpms.
Yes u can install redhat linux, mandrake dual boot.means u can install mandrake without uninstalling redhat...then ull have a dual boot WIN98,2kserver,xp,redhat and mandrake installed [/img]
