There are several filesystem images (= ramdisk images) in this
directory. They differ in intention and with which kernel versions
they may be used:
- filesys-1.2.gz
This ramdisk uses pl0..3 ext2 fs format and was meant to change
existing 0.9 ext2 filesystems for the new ext2 structure. It may
also be used to freshly install Linux/68k, but is not very
convenient for this task. Use it only with an appropriate kernel,
i.e. 1.2.x below 1..2.13pl3 (incl.)
- filesys-for-pl4.gz
This ramdisk is intended *only* for changing ext2 filesystems from
older formats (0.9, 1.2.13pl3) to the one used in 1.2.13pl4 and
later. For this, it contains new versions of all ext2 utilities in
both, a.out and ELF formats. But for freshly installing Linux/68k,
it lacks some important binaries (tar etc.) Since the image itself
is in pl4 ext2 format, it can't be used with older kernels.
- filesys-pl4-newer.{ext2,minix}.gz
These two ramdisk images are for newly installing Linux, not for
upgrading. The ext2 version also uses 1.2.13pl4 format, so it can't
be used with kernels older than that. The minix version does not
depend on the kernel version. Both contain all necessary
binaries for setting up a Linux system the first time (making
filesystems, untarring some basic system). See also the file
filesys-pl4-newer.README for more detailed instructions.
