233 | If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely | ||
234 | that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order | ||
235 | to run these binaries, you will want to install linux-abi which is | ||

237 | UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux. It is | ||
238 | available via FTP (user: ftp) from | ||
239 | <ftp://ftp.openlinux.org/pub/people/hch/linux-abi/>). | ||
240 | NOTE: that will work only for binaries from Intel-based systems; | ||
241 | PDP ones will have to wait until somebody ports Linux to -11 ;-) | ||
242 | |||
243 | If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the | ||
244 | network using NFS, you don't need the System V file system support | ||
245 | (but you need NFS file system support obviously). | ||
246 | |||
247 | Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a | ||
248 | good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes | ||
249 | (and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man | ||
250 | tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has | ||
251 | nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about | ||
252 | the System V file system in | ||
