| 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| but has been superseded by the second extended file system ext2fs.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. |
