 163 Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
 164 <b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>
 165
 166 <p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span

 168 recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
 169 distribution vendor. You may need to install package
 170 <b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
 171 Linux kernel version (<b>rpm&nbsp;-q&nbsp;kernel</b>) and re-run <span

 173
 174 <p><b>WARNING:</b> This 'captive' package may modify your Linux kernel
 175 sources matching your currently running kernel version. These minor
 176 modifications may include a dependencies rebuild, compiling build tools, fixes of
 177 several include files, etc. All the modifications are done at the mount(8) time
