Sorry to barge in, but I must have missed this in the documentation
somewhere. I read the README's and the INSTALL docs, but I didn't see
anything that said the ftape support should not be compiled into the
kernel. I was specifically looking for that notice, because I remember
seeing it awhile back when compiling ftape 3.x or so for a 2.0.3x kernel.
Is this still true for the 2.2.x kernels and ftape 4.x, and if so, in
which document is this notice?

Hope is not a course of action. (But prayer is a combat multiplier.)
