241 <h1>Installation Notes</h1>
243 <p>You should first run <b>captive-install-acquire</b> command to check your
244 available Microsoft Windows drivers versions. Now you can execute:</p>
248 # mkdir /mnt/dosc<br />
249 # mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc
256 <p>'<b>captive</b>' is the base package. It contains debugging '<b>captive-cmdline</b>' client.<br />
257 '<b>captive-lufs</b>' permits mounting NTFS as regular filesystem. It needs '<b>lufs</b>'.<br />
258 '<b>lufs</b>' is a daemon to enable userland process to provide filesystem functions.</p>
260 <p>Any errors from '<b>captive-lufs</b>' are written to '<b>/var/log/messages</b>'.</p>
262 <p>Needed drivers (at least ntoskrnl.exe+ntfs.sys) must be in '<b>/var/lib/captive</b>'.</p>
264 <p>'<b>captive</b>' package creates '<b>captive</b>' user and '<b>captive</b>' group on your system.</p>
267 <h2>Package Version Conflicts</h2>

289 <h2>LUFS Kernel Driver Module</h2>
291 <p>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} (Linux Userland File
292 System) needs Linux kernel module driver (<i>lufs.o</i>) compatible with your
293 running Linux kernel. Binary driver is supplied already precompiled for many
294 Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
295 <b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>
297 <p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span
298 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> to see the reasons. It is always
299 recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
300 distribution vendor. You may need to install package
301 <b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
302 Linux kernel version (<b>rpm -q kernel</b>) and re-run <span
303 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span>.</p>
305 <p><b>WARNING:</b> This 'captive' package may modify your found Linux kernel
306 sources matching your currently running kernel version. These minor
307 modifications may include dependencies rebuild, compiling build tools, fixes of
308 several include files etc. All the modifications are done at the mount(8) time
309 by the automatically executed <span class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> script.
