| 5 | Minix is a simple operating system used in many classes about OS's. |
| 6 | The minix file system (method to organize files on a hard disk |
| 7 | partition or a floppy disk) was the original file system for Linux, |
| 8 | but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs. |
| 9 | You don't want to use the minix file system on your hard disk |
| 10 | because of certain built-in restrictions, but it is sometimes found |
| 11 | on older Linux floppy disks. This option will enlarge your kernel |
| 12 | by about 28 KB. If unsure, say N. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the |
| 15 | module will be called minix. Note that the file system of your root |
| 16 | partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as |
| 17 | a module. |
