<ul>
        <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>
        </li>

<a name="notes"><h1>Installation Notes</h1></a>

<p>You should first run <b>captive-install-acquire</b> command to check your
available Microsoft Windows drivers versions. Now you can execute:</p>

<blockquote>
        <p class="quote">
                # mkdir /mnt/dosc<br />
                # mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc
        </p>
</blockquote>


<h2>Overview</h2>

<p>Any errors from '<b>captive-lufs</b>' are written to '<b>/var/log/messages</b>'.</p>

<p>Needed drivers (at least ntoskrnl.exe+ntfs.sys) must be in '<b>/var/lib/captive</b>'.</p>

<p>'<b>captive</b>' package creates '<b>captive</b>' user and '<b>captive</b>' group on your system.</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.

        <h2>The First Open Source MS-Windows Kernel API for Free OS</h2>

        <p>Compatibility with the existing binary Microsoft Windows file system drivers has been
        reached. Microsoft Windows kernel system components required by these drivers
        were analyzed and successfully emulated in the GNU/Linux operating system.
