- select ZLIB_INFLATE
- help
- Saying Y here includes support for CramFs (Compressed ROM File
- System). CramFs is designed to be a simple, small, and compressed
- file system for ROM based embedded systems. CramFs is read-only,
- limited to 256MB file systems (with 16MB files), and doesn't support
- 16/32 bits uid/gid, hard links and timestamps.
-
- See <file:Documentation/filesystems/cramfs.txt> and
- <file:fs/cramfs/README> for further information.
-
- To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
- cramfs. Note that the root file system (the one containing the
- directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.

- If unsure, say N.

- help
- FreeVxFS is a file system driver that support the VERITAS VxFS(TM)
- file system format. VERITAS VxFS(TM) is the standard file system
- of SCO UnixWare (and possibly others) and optionally available
- for Sunsoft Solaris, HP-UX and many other operating systems.
- Currently only readonly access is supported.
-
- NOTE: the file system type as used by mount(1), mount(2) and

- the actual driver.

-config MINIX_FS

- depends on BLOCK
- help
- Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's.
- The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk
- partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux,
- but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.
- You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk
- because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found
- on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel
- by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N.

- To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called minix. Note that the file system of your root
- partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as
- a module.

- more efficient than a standard FS for MPEG files, in fact likely
- the opposite is true. Say Y if you have either of these devices
- and wish to mount its disk.

- partitions. Say Y if you want to be able to read files from and
- write files to an OS/2 HPFS partition on your hard drive. OS/2
- floppies however are in regular MSDOS format, so you don't need this
- option in order to be able to read them. Read

- depends on BLOCK
- help
- SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel
- machines, and Version 7 was used on the DEC PDP-11. Saying Y
- here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk
- partitions.
-
- If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely
- that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order
- to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is
- a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse,
- UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is
- available via FTP (user: ftp) from
- <ftp://ftp.openlinux.org/pub/people/hch/linux-abi/>).
- NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems;
- PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-)
-
- If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
- network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support
- (but you need NFS file system support obviously).
-
- Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
- good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
- (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
- tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has
- nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about
- the System V file system in
- <file:Documentation/filesystems/sysv-fs.txt>.
- Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB.

- help
- BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
- OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a file system called UFS. Some System V
- Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
- this file system as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
- these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
- experimental "UFS file system write support", below. Please read the
- file <file:Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt> for more information.
-
- The recently released UFS2 variant (used in FreeBSD 5.x) is
- READ-ONLY supported.
-
- Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
- good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
- (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
- tar" or preferably "info tar").
-
- When accessing NeXTstep files, you may need to convert them from the
- NeXT character set to the Latin1 character set; use the program
- recode ("info recode") for this purpose.
