Also, if you don't need write access, you might want to grab kmod-ntfs from livna.org. And a question for the list - if ntfs-3g meets the requirements for inclusion in Extras, what disqualifies kmod-ntfs?
Now that there is ntfs-3g, I wonder why anyone chooses to install the crippled kernel module kmod-ntfs. If you want read only access, then just mount using ntfs-3g with only read access. My question is why Fedora does not ship with ntfs-3g out of the box. Most dual boot scenarios will benefit from its usage and most new Fedora users will have an existing NTFS partition.
