8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300  8) 	  here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300  9) 	  partitions.

8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 11) 	  If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 12) 	  that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 13) 	  to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 14) 	  a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse,
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 15) 	  UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux.  It is
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 16) 	  available via FTP (user: ftp) from

8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 18) 	  NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems;
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 19) 	  PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-)
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 20) 
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 21) 	  If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 22) 	  network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 23) 	  (but you need NFS file system support obviously).

8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 25) 	  Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 26) 	  good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 27) 	  (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 28) 	  tar" or preferably "info tar").  Note also that this option has
8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 29) 	  nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about

8af915ba1d1ea (Alexey Dobriyan       2009-01-22 11:04:23 +0300 32) 	  Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB.
