Never tried it.  having said that, I know that redhat distro's do not have
that option enabled in the kernel, I'd guess none of the others do either,
I also know that when you select that kernel option, it claims it's
"DANGEROUS".  You can recompile your kernel with the NTFS partition
support as a module. that's how I'd do it.

I'd guess that once you've got the kernel rebuilt & running, it's just
like mounting any other filesystem, "mount /dev/whatever /mountpoint"

additionaly, there is a utility that the kernel docs refer to, called
ntfsfix, that they indicate should be executed after writing to and
unmounting the partition.  refer to http://linux-ntfs.sf.net as per the
kernel docs for more info.

hope this helps..
