I remember that the Minix code for ELKS 0.0.66 is quite small (~ 10K).
The FAT + MSDOS code from Linux-386 is quite large though, even after I
deleted huge chunks of it. A complete re-implementation of MSDOS FS might
change that, though.
Forget about plain FAT... I don't like to have my filenames limited to 8.3.
