Anyone know more about Captive-NTFS?

I'd like to know if Captive-NTFS can only be activated from KDE,
or, for example, if the init-script finds it in /KNOPPIX on cdrom
(if I put the necessary files there).

I prefer automatically using Captive, but don't know if KNOPPIX can handle this.

another 700MB to download.
