229 <h1>Installation notes</h1>
231 <p>You should first run <b>captive-install-acquire</b> command to check your
232 available Microsoft Windows drivers versions. Now you can execute:</p>
236 # mkdir /mnt/dosc<br />
237 # mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc
244 <p>'<b>captive</b>' is the base package. It contains debugging '<b>captive-cmdline</b>' client.<br />
245 '<b>captive-lufs</b>' permits mounting NTFS as regular filesystem. It needs '<b>lufs</b>'.<br />
246 '<b>lufs</b>' is a daemon to enable userland process to provide filesystem functions.</p>
248 <p>Any errors from '<b>captive-lufs</b>' are written to '<b>/var/log/messages</b>'.</p>
250 <p>Needed drivers (at least ntoskrnl.exe+ntfs.sys) must be in '<b>/var/lib/captive</b>'.</p>
252 <p>'<b>captive</b>' package creates '<b>captive</b>' user and '<b>captive</b>' group on your system.</p>
255 <h2>Package version conflicts</h2>
259 <dt>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','lufs' ]}</dt>
260 <dd><p><b>'captive' version required</b>: Although you may already have the
261 original package installed you must replace it by the local 'captive'-marked
262 version containing some 'captive'-essential fixes and extensions.</p></dd>
264 <dt>@{[ a_href 'http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/','ntfsprogs' ]}</dt>
265 <dd><p><b>Original version >=200309071734 sufficient</b>:
266 The package downloadable here has no code patches - you can freely use the
267 original version instead. Unfortunately the last public release is
268 <b>1.7.1</b> while this project requires at least
269 @{[ a_href 'http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/snapshots/','snapshot' ]} version

271 which is not packaged (.rpm/.deb) yet. Packaged versions are provided here for
272 your convenience.</p></dd>
277 <h2>LUFS kernel driver module</h2>
279 <p>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} (Linux Userland File
280 System) needs Linux kernel module driver (<i>lufs.o</i>) compatible with your
281 running Linux kernel. Binary driver is supplied already precompiled for many
282 Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
283 <b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>
285 <p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span
286 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> to see the reasons. It is always
287 recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
288 distribution vendor. You may need to install package
289 <b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
290 Linux kernel version (<b>rpm -q kernel</b>) and re-run <span
291 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span>.</p>

299 <h2>The First Open Source MS-Windows Kernel API for Free OS</h2>
301 <p>Compatibility with existing binary Microsoft Windows file system drivers was
302 reached. Microsoft Windows kernel system components required by these drivers
303 were analyzed and successfuly emulated in the GNU/Linux operating system.
