I thought that was supposed to be a NOTES file in the conf directory.
Looks like it doesn't include EXT2FS; that might be worth a bug report.

 My second question (coming from a different open source UNIX-like operating
 system background) is: how does one specify to compile a 5.1 feature as a
 module as opposed to directly into the kernel, or are all module-capable
 features automatically compiled as modules?

The latter should be the case by default.

compiling ext2fs into a kernel

2003-11-20 Thread DG 
Greetings,

I compiled a kernel from a standard 5.1-RELEASE installation yestreen to
include support for ext2fs, but couldn't find any documentation about what
option to set to include support for ext2fs.  Grepping the handbook and all
files in the .../i386/conf directory did not reveal any references to ext2fs
at all.  I eventually got around it by modifying the Makefile in the modules
directory and successfully compiled a kernel with ext2fs support.

As the kernel is for my gateway machine at home I temporarily don't have
Internet access there, so I did a quick search at work this morning and
found a reference to adding options EXT2FS to the config file - probably
the more canonical way of setting options.

My first question is: what documentation is there on the available kernel
options?

My second question (coming from a different open source UNIX-like operating
system background) is: how does one specify to compile a 5.1 feature as a
module as opposed to directly into the kernel, or are all module-capable
features automatically compiled as modules?
