CentOS - Oct 2013 - installing centos with oos ntfs format drives

greetings.

i am going to run a fresh install of centos 6.4 and want to mount 3
partitions of oos that are formatted as ntfs in an oem installed box.

if during install, i set up partitions /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and
/dev/sdb1 as ntfs, will install install ntfs software or will i have
to select it later on in installation?

also, is it better to mount them under /mnt to keep /media clean?

what is "oos" ?

you cannot install CentOS on a NTFS volume. use ext3 or ext4 for the 
system volumes.

to install the ntfs support and tools, you will first need to add the 
EPEL package repository, then

# yum install *ntfs-3g ntfsprogs*

and then read up on how to use ntfs-3g

John is right on the money with ntfs3g

It really doesn't matter.

But...
It's common for stationary storage to be mounted under /mnt and temporary
storage (think USB thumb drive) to be mounted under /media.
