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).
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.
csize.doc Cache resizing 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.
