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

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