how to boot linux and mount ntfs?

Hi All,

I would like to use a linux installation DVD-ROM (Fedora 5) to boot my
machine and mount the NTFS on my harddisk.

I tried to boot it in "linux rescue" mode and access to the command
line. but I am not able to mount the NTFS. It seems like the ntfs
modules is not loaded to kernel yet. Then, I downloaded ntfs-kernel-
modules.rpm file and save it in a usb drive. I tried to install it
after boot in rescue mode but I got /lib/modules is a read-only file
system.

Any hints?
