It is refered to as pcfs from now on. No, this is not related to sun's pcfs, although they essentially do the same thing. This package has been installed on a 386bsd 0.1 system that has NOT had the patchkit installed. But, pcfs only changes a few files in the base system so if pcfs changes collide with the patchkit they will be small and localized. Unshar each of the following 4 shar files. They create files in /sys/pcfs and /usr/src/sbin/mount_pcfs. They do not overwrite any existing files. Once you have them unshared read the /sys/pcfs/INSTALL file to find out how to install it and mount pc filesystems. Then look at the /sys/pcfs/pcfs.8 file for a list of the filesystem's quirks. If you have problems send me some email and I'll see what I can do. If you add things please send me the mods and I will try to incorporate them for the next release. Have fun, Paul paulp@sde.uts.amdahl.com
