You will have to check to see if NTFS support is enabled into your kernel.
Redhat doesn't by default so you won't be able to even read NTFS until you
recompile a new kernel. Check here for more info:

Well, I've never installed Quake III on Linux before, so I can't really help you
out. However, with any package that uses GNU autoconf and automake (Your classic
./configure && make && make install). There is a `make uninstall` that should
remove everything `make install` creates.
