+<p>Project implements the first full read/write free access to NTFS disk drives.
+You can mount your Microsoft Windows NT, 200x or XP partition as
+a transparently accessible volume for your GNU/Linux.</p>
+<p>This compatibility was achieved in
+the @{[ a_href 'http://www.winehq.com/','Wine' ]} way by using the original
+Microsoft Windows <i>ntfs.sys</i> driver. It emulates the required subsystems of
+the Microsoft Windows kernel by reusing one of the original
+<i>ntoskrnl.exe</i>, @{[ a_href 'http://www.reactos.com/','ReactOS' ]} parts, or
+this project's own reimplementations, on a case by case basis.
+Project includes the first open source MS-Windows kernel API for Free operating systems.
+Involvement of the original driver files was chosen to achieve the best
+and unprecedented filesystem compatibility and safety.</p>
+<p>As opposed to other projects this is currently the only software supporting the full
+read/write access including the possibility to create/delete files, modify directories
+etc.</p>

+<h4>Development Status</h4>
+
+<p>Project is no longer developed. The key functionality is reached
+by the latest released version. All its resources are available
+@{[ a_href 'CVS.pm#source','here' ]} for download.</p>
+
+<h4>Known Issue</h4>
+
+<p>Captive was written to interface with the Linux kernel via
+@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]}.
+Unfortunately, this project is no longer being maintained by its author.
+Mounting of NTFS devices usually works, but is no longer supported by the
+author of Captive. Always unmount the device by umount(8) command before shutting
+down your GNU/Linux system.</p>
+
+<p>A port of Captive to the newer
+@{[ a_href 'http://fuse.sourceforge.net/','FUSE' ]}
+interface has not yet been implemented.
+There is an experimental LUFS-FUSE bridge called
+@{[ a_href 'http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684','lufis' ]}
+that can be used in the meanwhile.
+Also, the captive-cmdline(1) interface will get around any kernel compatibility
+problems.</p>

+ <p>Linux software generally has a reputation for having some great, novell
+ ideas, but often lacking in the general 'spit and polish' - difficult to
+ install, unreliable, and so on. However the latest program I have tried out
+ - Captive, is a breath of fresh air - simple to install and set up, and It
+ Just WorksTM. And not only that, it's probably one of the most useful and
+ technically impressive projects I've seen in a long time ...</p>

+ <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>I just installed captive and it worked as advertized right out of the

+ 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>

+<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" style="white-space: pre;"
+># captive-cmdline \\
+ --load-module=/var/lib/captive/ntoskrnl.exe \\
+ --filesystem=/var/lib/captive/ntfs.sys \\
+ --sandbox-server=/usr/sbin/captive-sandbox-server \\
+ --bug-pathname=/tmp/captive-bug-%FT%T.captivebug.xml.gz \\
+ --disk --rw /dev/hda1
+# Now you can use ftp(1)-like command-line interface for the NTFS disk access.</p
+ >
+ <p>(Backslash end-of-line characters '\\' to be omitted for line continuation.)</p>

+<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>

+<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 -q 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.
+This behavior was not present in the original
+@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} distribution
