greetings.
i am going to run a fresh install of centos 6.4 and want to mount 3 partitions of oos that are formatted as ntfs in an oem installed box.
if during install, i set up partitions /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sdb1 as ntfs, will install install ntfs software or will i have to select it later on in installation?
also, is it better to mount them under /mnt to keep /media clean?
tia.

what is "oos" ?
you cannot install CentOS on a NTFS volume. use ext3 or ext4 for the system volumes.
to install the ntfs support and tools, you will first need to add the EPEL package repository, then
# yum install *ntfs-3g ntfsprogs*
and then read up on how to use ntfs-3g
hello john,

not wanting to install to ntfs. the box is an hp with ntfs for oos [msos].
i intend to reformat centos partitions as ext4.
to install the ntfs support and tools, you will first need to add the EPEL package repository, then
# yum install *ntfs-3g ntfsprogs*
which answers all 3 questions for install.
thank you.

John is right on the money with ntfs3g
also, is it better to mount them under /mnt to keep /media clean?
It really doesn't matter.
But... It's common for stationary storage to be mounted under /mnt and temporary storage (think USB thumb drive) to be mounted under /media.

frankly, I usually create top level directories for permanent mounts. maybe /ntfs (under which you might have a /ntfs/disk1, /ntfs/disk2, etc, or something more suitable).
