How to compile kernel with NTFS support

[mudasir]

Hi,
I am using FC5, and was trying to mount NTFS partition on it. I did few thing for this task like i downloaded Kernel-ntfs-driver from

http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/187/

and installed it. It mounted the partition correctly but its is only readable. I also tried
mount /dev/hdb3 /songs -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222
and
mount /dev/hdb5 /eng -t ntfs -rw -o umask=777

i got the samething a folder with readonly permissions.

Please help me out.
I am creating a web-server for my local network, previously it was on Windows 2003 Ent. Server. Now i am shifting it on linux, so all my partitions are on NTFS.

Please Help Me Out...

You want to do

mount /dev/hdb5 /eng -t ntfs -o rw

(I haven't ever written to NTFS partitions, but it's generally the way to mount read/write).
