Note that the list in my previous post was for the latest CentOS 5
kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8).  The options may change dependent on the
version.  For example, the first CentOS-5 centosplus kernel did NOT
have the firewire enabled.  This was turned on in later versions upon
request.  Note also that the NTFS support in C5 is for read access
only (no write access).
