hi
how to install a new linux kernel on an already installed linux system.
I am using redhat 9.0 presently. I want to upgrade its kernel to some
new kernel which has the ability to mount ntfs as read write.
thanx and please be elaborate regarding the installation procedure.


Installing an rpm usually takes care of everything, including the boot
loader.  However, I am not sure you will find an rpm for RH9 with a
sufficiently recent ntfs driver.

Be aware that ntfs drivers up to recently could not write safely, or
could only write safely *inside existing files*, i.e. not create files,
not increase the size of a file, not rename or delete a file...
Editors usually write a new copy of the file they update and then do
some renaming and deleting, so that one or the other version will
survive no matter when the power failure happens. This makes editors
unsable on ntfs where the driver cannot create files.

The current status for the newest ntfs driver I don't know. The last
web page I have seen about it is http://bisqwit.iki.fi/story/howto/ntfs/

The page does describe some workarounds.  There appears to be
something called Captive, which works well for some.
