1. Install the kernel-source rpm from your distribution CD. That will create a directory /usr/src/linux-<revision>. 2. As root, cd to that directory. Now would be a good time to read the documentation in the README file in this directory. You will also find a configs directory that contains several config files. Find the one that matches the kernel you are currently running and make a note of its name. 3. Make sure you are in the /usr/src/linux-<revision> directory and logged in as root. 4. Type "make mrproper". 5. If you are running X, type "make xconfig", otherwise type "make menuconfig". 6. First select "Load Configuration from File" and give the full path to the config file you made a note of earlier. 7. Next select "File systems". Find "NTFS file system support (read only)" and select it (probably as a module). 8. You may or may not want to save your new configuration file, but I would advise against overwriting the original. Save your changes and exit config. 9. Do a "make dep". This will take some time. 10. Do a "make bzImage". This will take longer. 11. Do a "make modules". This will not take as long. 12. Do a "make modules_install". This is pretty quick. 13. Do a "make install". This is also quick. I am familiar with lilo and not grub but I understand the default boot loader for 7.3 is grub. I know lilo would need to run here, but I'm not sure about grub. Check the documentation. If it were using lilo, there would be some output from it verifying that it ran successfully. At this point, you have overwritten your existing kernel (unless you have modified the makefile) so cross your fingers and re-boot your system. Good luck.
