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

211 <h2>The First Open Source MS-Windows Kernel API for Free OS</h2>
213 <p>Compatibility with the existing binary Microsoft Windows file system drivers has been
214 reached. Microsoft Windows kernel system components required by these drivers
215 were analyzed and successfully emulated in the GNU/Linux operating system.
216 The project brings the Microsoft Windows kernel emulation framework to support even
217 other types of Microsoft Windows drivers in the future.
218 The <span class="productname">@{[ a_href 'http://www.reactos.com/','ReactOS' ]}</span>
