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

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