<h4>Known Issue</h4>

<p>Captive was written to interface with the Linux kernel via
@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]}.
Unfortunately, this project is no longer being maintained by its author.
Mounting of NTFS devices usually works, but is no longer supported by the
author of Captive.</p>

<p>A port of Captive to the newer
@{[ a_href 'http://fuse.sourceforge.net/','FUSE' ]}
interface has not yet been implemented.
There is an experimental LUFS-FUSE bridge called
@{[ a_href 'http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684','lufis' ]}
that can be used in the meanwhile.
Also, the captive-cmdline(1) interface will get around any kernel compatibility
problems.</p>

<ul>
        <li>Hospital of Castelo Branco - Bruno Santos
                <p>we are preparing the machines to install another system that will allow
                the digitalization of medical images - PACS (picture archive and
                communication system).</p>

                <p>since the computers that are need are about 100 and we need to install
                windows in all of them (even we have an almost automated instalation - but
                requires some administrator interaction). So, we want to install
                windows2000 without pressing a key.</p>

                <p>Ok, I'm impressed (@{[ a_href 'http://www.amunra.co.uk/archives/000028.php','Captive Review' ]})</p>
                <p>Linux software generally has a reputation for having some great, novell
                ideas, but often lacking in the general 'spit and polish' - difficult to
                install, unreliable, and so on. However the latest program I have tried out
                - Captive, is a breath of fresh air - simple to install and set up, and It
                Just WorksTM. And not only that, it's probably one of the most useful and
                technically impressive projects I've seen in a long time ...</p>
                <p><span style="font-style: italic;">[ snip ]</span></p>
        </li>
        <li>Derek J Witt
                <p>I commend you for this project. I am currently using this on my XP NTFS
                partitions and I am impressed that I can actually move, edit, and remove files
                and directories with no apparent ill effects. This is very nice indeed.</p>
                <p>I initially was skeptical because it uses wine and parts of ReactOS
                 (I have messed with this OS a few times), but you have proved me wrong. I have
                noticed no lag on my system.  I do notice the initial mounting process does
                take slightly longer than the Linux-NTFS project. But, once I'm past that, it's
                quite transparent.</p>
                <p><span style="font-style: italic;">[ technical question cut ]</span></p>
        </li>
        <li>James Van't Slot
                <p>Just wanted to drop you a note and say &quot;Excellent work!&quot;</p>
                <p>I just installed captive and it worked as advertized right out of the
                rpm.  Thanks, I've been holding off recompiling my kernel until NTFS is
                supported out of the box for Redhat.  Now I don't have to bother.</p>
                <p>Thanks again and keep up the great work.</p>

<h2>LUFS Kernel Driver Module</h2>

<p>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} (Linux Userland File
System) needs Linux kernel module driver (<i>lufs.o</i>) compatible with your
running Linux kernel. The binary driver is supplied already precompiled for many
Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
<b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>

<p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span
class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> to see the reasons. It is always
recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
distribution vendor. You may need to install package
<b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
Linux kernel version (<b>rpm&nbsp;-q&nbsp;kernel</b>) and re-run <span
class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span>.</p>

<p><b>WARNING:</b> This 'captive' package may modify your Linux kernel
sources matching your currently running kernel version. These minor
modifications may include a dependencies rebuild, compiling build tools, fixes of
several include files, etc. All the modifications are done at the mount(8) time
by the automatically executed <span class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> script.
