28 <p>captive-install-acquire - Find MS Windows XP driver files for <strong>NTFS</strong></p>
32 <h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
36 <h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
37 <p>Program acquires the needed <em>Microsoft Windows XP</em> driver files. Multiple
38 methods of getting the driver files are supported. All the driver files are
39 stored to the directory
40 <strong>/var/lib/captive/</strong>
42 expected by <strong>mount.captive</strong>(8).</p>
46 <h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
47 <p>Program will run interactively if no action options (<strong>--scan-disks</strong>,
48 <strong>--scan-disks-quick</strong>, <strong>--scan-path</strong> or <strong>--microsoft-com</strong>) are specified.
49 Otherwise the requested <code>action(s)</code> is proceeded in silent batch mode.</p>
51 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2d%2dtext"><strong>--text</strong></a></strong><br />
54 Disable <em>Gnome</em> user interface even if <em>X Window System</em> is available.
55 You must specify this option as the first one. This option has effect only for
56 interactive mode (no action options specified).
59 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dv%7c%2d%2dverbose"><strong>-v</strong>|<strong>--verbose</strong></a></strong><br />
62 Display additional information during disks scanning.
65 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2dn%7c%2d%2ddry"><strong>-n</strong>|<strong>--dry</strong></a></strong><br />
68 Perform all the operations but do not modify anything (no drivers are
70 <strong>/var/lib/captive/</strong>
74 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2d%2dmodid%2dpath%3dpath"><strong>--modid-path</strong>=<strong>path</strong></a></strong><br />
77 Path to <strong>.captivemodid.xml</strong> database (default:
78 <strong>/etc/w32-mod-id.captivemodid.xml</strong>). This file contains
79 identifications (<strong>md5sum</strong>(1)) of known compatible <em>Microsoft Windows XP</em>
80 driver files. <strong>captive-install-acquire</strong>(1) will ignore any files not
81 identified by this file although you may try to copy them to
82 <strong>/var/lib/captive/</strong>
83 manually for <strong>captive</strong>(7) clients.
86 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2d%2dscan%2ddisks"><strong>--scan-disks</strong></a></strong><br />
89 Scan all files on any local hard drive (mounted or unmounted) <strong>NTFS</strong> or
90 (mounted) <strong>FAT</strong> partitions. This scanning includes <em>cabinet</em> (<strong>.cab</strong>)
91 archives. This scanning can last for very long time.
94 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2d%2dscan%2ddisks%2dquick"><strong>--scan-disks-quick</strong></a></strong><br />
97 Reduced version of <strong>--scan-disks</strong>. Only <strong>windows/system32</strong> subdirectory in
98 the root of any local hard drive (mounted or unmounted) <strong>NTFS</strong> or (mounted)
99 <strong>FAT</strong> partition is investigated. This scan should find existing driver files
100 in already existing <em>Microsoft Windows XP</em> installations.
103 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2d%2dscan%2dpath%3dpath%2furi"><strong>--scan-path</strong>=<strong>path/URI</strong></a></strong><br />
106 Scan the specified <strong>path/URI</strong> for device driver files. You may use either
107 filename (<strong>/tmp/ntoskrnl.ex_</strong>), directory (<strong>/tmp/servicepack.cab</strong>), <strong>NTFS</strong>
108 disk file/directory (<strong>file:///dev/hda1#libntfs:/windows/system32</strong>) or remote
109 <em>URI</em> filename (<strong><a href="http://server/path/to/ntfs.sys">http://server/path/to/ntfs.sys</a></strong>). Remote <em>URI</em> directory
110 (such as <strong><a href="http://server/subdir/">http://server/subdir/</a></strong>) is not supported.
113 <p>Possibly specified directory is always scanned recursively.</p>
116 <dt><strong><a name="item_%2d%2dmicrosoft%2dcom"><strong>--microsoft-com</strong></a></strong><br />
119 You can download the best available version of needed drivers from
120 <em>Microsoft</em>. They can be found in <em>Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1
121 Checked Build</em> (URL

125 <p>Legal: In some countries you need to have valid <em>Microsoft Windows XP</em> license
129 <p>Program will need to download approx 29MB of data (the cabinet file is 151MB;
