160 <h1>Installation Notes</h1>
162 <p>You should first run <b>captive-install-acquire</b> command to check your
163 available Microsoft Windows drivers versions. Now you can execute:</p>
167 # mkdir /mnt/dosc<br />
168 # mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc
175 <p>Any errors from '<b>captive-lufs</b>' are written to '<b>/var/log/messages</b>'.</p>
177 <p>Needed drivers (at least ntoskrnl.exe+ntfs.sys) must be in '<b>/var/lib/captive</b>'.</p>
179 <p>'<b>captive</b>' package creates '<b>captive</b>' user and '<b>captive</b>' group on your system.</p>
182 <h2>LUFS Kernel Driver Module</h2>
184 <p>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} (Linux Userland File
185 System) needs Linux kernel module driver (<i>lufs.o</i>) compatible with your
186 running Linux kernel. The binary driver is supplied already precompiled for many
187 Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
188 <b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>
190 <p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span
191 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> to see the reasons. It is always
192 recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
193 distribution vendor. You may need to install package
194 <b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
195 Linux kernel version (<b>rpm -q kernel</b>) and re-run <span
196 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span>.</p>
198 <p><b>WARNING:</b> This 'captive' package may modify your Linux kernel
199 sources matching your currently running kernel version. These minor
200 modifications may include a dependencies rebuild, compiling build tools, fixes of
201 several include files, etc. All the modifications are done at the mount(8) time
202 by the automatically executed <span class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> script.

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