Anybody know about remaster version including it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can verify that captive-ntfs DOES work in Knoppix. I installed this from my chroot'ed source, did this command
Code:
/usr/share/lufs/prepmod
The kernel source dir MUST be present. I used the tar ball version rather than deb's. You must also supply a copy of ntfs.sys and ntoskrnl.exe. The captive-ntfs install script will scan your HD's for it or you can just copy them manually to /var/lib/captive.

I then compacted and made the ISO. Booted to it and mounted a NTFS partition. FULL read AND write. Knoppix recognizes the partition at boot and makes a /mnt/hdXX dir for it but you must use the mount syntax from the command line like so:
Code:
mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hdXX /mnt/hdXX
rather than just the normal
Code:
mount /mnt/hdXX
else it gets mounted by the kernel ntfs module.

Klaus will have to come up with a clever way to obtain these two files at boot, I don't think it's legal for him to send them with the distro.

I do note that performance is very slow. I am remastering under VMWare and found it way faster just to FTP the file from the Knoppix session to my host XP session. Performance may be better in "real" life.
