Ahh yes, good tip. I'm pretty sure dual-boot on CentOS is de-emphasized or maybe flat out not supported, is probably why ntfs3-g isn't on the installer media. On Fedora, that's a required based package because of explicit dual boot support, and it's necessary because the installer uses ntfs-3g to resize the Windows volume to make room for Fedora. -- Chris Murphy
