My apologies for posting an already solved problem, but dont know if its my ignorance that is not getting me to my desired results.....trying to mount an external usb hard drive(ntfs) in my system. In my CentOS box, I tried to install dkms, dkms-fuse, fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g as follows(including what happened) [root at Production mnt]# yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Tried looking all over the place for a solution, haven't had any luck yet! Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
