How to mount nfts partiton on linux

Today when I want to mount my external harddisk I felt uneasy since my Redhat linux does not support nfts partiton. NTFS3G is an open source cross-platform, stable, GPL licensed, POSIX, NTFS R/W driver used in Linux. It provides safe handling of Windows NTFS file systems. To proceed with mounting NTFS filesystem install fuse and ntfs-3g.
Before installing ntfs-3g better install install fuse and then install ntfs-3g. For using ntfs-3g recommends to have at least kernel version 2.6.20 and higher.

Install fuse for kernel support

 # wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fuse/fuse-2.7.1.tar.gz 

 # tar xzf fuse-2.7.1.tar.gz 

 # cd fuse-2.7.1

 # ./configure --exec-prefix=/; make; make install 

Install ntfs-3g using make

 # wget http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ntfs-3g-1.1120.tgz 

 # tar xzf ntfs-3g-1.1120.tgz 

 # cd ntfs-3g-1.1120

 # ./configure; make; make install 

If you have confidure yum then its one step, then better use yum for installing the rpms.
Install nfts-3g using yum

 # yum install fuse

 # yum install ntfs-3g

Mount ntfs filesystem

 # modprobe fuse

 # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
