- Welcome to Minixfs! If you are attemting to use Minixfs for the first time
- then I would advise you read all the docs in this directory (except
- syscall.doc). Otherwise you can just read latest.doc for features added to
- the latest version and any bugfixes etc. (for more detailed info read the
- 'changes' file in the source distribution). In case it wasn't obvious before
- donations i.e. money (or better still hardware and lucrative programming deals
- [well you never know]) are encouraged but not as yet compulsory (they may be
- in the near future). Any donations will be turned into registrations at the
- appropriate time.
-
- Here is a summary of the contents of the document files:
-
- copying Conditions of use.
-
- address.doc Contact addresses.
-
- mfsdoc.doc introduction to Minixfs and why you may or may not want to
- use it.
-
- minit.doc How to use 'minit' to create a Minixfs partition.
-
- minixfs.doc How to install Minixfs and about filename translation.
-
- flist.doc Description of flist utility.
-
- fsck.doc How to use fsck to fix filesystems and a bit of backround
- as to their structure.
-
- mfsconf.doc How to use mfsconf to set the filesystem translation modes.
-
- mount.doc How to use the mount program.
-
- bugs.doc How to submit a bug report.
-
- syscall.doc Minixfs specific system calls and special features of standard
- system calls. Only really of interest to programmers.
-
- latest.doc Bugfixes and/or features of this version.
-
- NB Read the file bugs.doc before submitting a bug report. I don't have access
- to your system so all I know about it is what you tell me, this file tells you
- the kind of information I need to have a reasonable chance of fixing a problem.
- I waste a great deal of time and money simply asking people to give me the
- proper information after an initial report saying "Minixfs doesn't work" or
- a nasty post to Usenet. In future I'll ingnore such reports, if you can't be
- bothered to read the docs then I can't be bothered to help.
