    Local repository and mounting NTFS help needed

    I currently have a RHEL5 machine that I need to mount a NTFS formatted SATA drive on. The problem is that we are not allowed to put Linux machines on the network because they are not secure (I have no idea how to explain our internal IT department's thought process on this). There is no other access to the internet here other than through our company network.

    Some information that I have found points to using the rpmforge repository and also using the fuse repository. How could I get all the files in those repositories downloaded to my windows network machine so I can make DVD's to take to the offline Linux machine?

    If anyone can offer some help on this I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You need the ntfs-3g drivers and tools. The rpms for these can be found on the CentOS/RHEL/ScientifiLinux mirror sites. Then you can install them with yum directly: yum install filename.rpm
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
