131 <a name="testimonials"><h2>Captive NTFS Testimonials</h2></a>
135 <p>I commend you for this project. I am currently using this on my XP NTFS
136 partitions and I am impressed that I can actually move, edit, and remove files
137 and directories with no apparent ill effects. This is very nice indeed.</p>
138 <p>I initially was skeptical because it uses wine and parts of ReactOS
139 (I have messed with this OS a few times), but you have proved me wrong. I have
140 noticed no lag on my system. I do notice the initial mounting process does
141 take slightly longer than the Linux-NTFS project. But, once I'm past that, it's
142 quite transparent.</p>
143 <p><span style="font-style: italic;">[ technical question cut ]</span></p>
146 <p>Just wanted to drop you a note and say "Excellent work!"</p>
147 <p>I just installed captive and it worked as advertized right out of the
148 rpm. Thanks, I've been holding off recompiling my kernel until NTFS is
149 supported out of the box for Redhat. Now I don't have to bother.</p>
150 <p>Thanks again and keep up the great work.</p>
157 <a name="notes"><h1>Installation Notes</h1></a>
159 <p>You should first run <b>captive-install-acquire</b> command to check your
160 available Microsoft Windows drivers versions. Now you can execute:</p>
164 # mkdir /mnt/dosc<br />
165 # mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc
172 <p>Any errors from '<b>captive-lufs</b>' are written to '<b>/var/log/messages</b>'.</p>
174 <p>Needed drivers (at least ntoskrnl.exe+ntfs.sys) must be in '<b>/var/lib/captive</b>'.</p>
176 <p>'<b>captive</b>' package creates '<b>captive</b>' user and '<b>captive</b>' group on your system.</p>
179 <h2>LUFS Kernel Driver Module</h2>
181 <p>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} (Linux Userland File
182 System) needs Linux kernel module driver (<i>lufs.o</i>) compatible with your
183 running Linux kernel. The binary driver is supplied already precompiled for many
184 Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
185 <b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>
187 <p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span
188 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> to see the reasons. It is always
189 recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
190 distribution vendor. You may need to install package
191 <b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
192 Linux kernel version (<b>rpm -q kernel</b>) and re-run <span
193 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span>.</p>
195 <p><b>WARNING:</b> This 'captive' package may modify your Linux kernel
196 sources matching your currently running kernel version. These minor
197 modifications may include a dependencies rebuild, compiling build tools, fixes of
198 several include files, etc. All the modifications are done at the mount(8) time
199 by the automatically executed <span class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> script.

209 <h2>The First Open Source MS-Windows Kernel API for Free OS</h2>
211 <p>Compatibility with the existing binary Microsoft Windows file system drivers has been
212 reached. Microsoft Windows kernel system components required by these drivers
213 were analyzed and successfully emulated in the GNU/Linux operating system.
214 The project brings the Microsoft Windows kernel emulation framework to support even
215 other types of Microsoft Windows drivers in the future.
