228 SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel
229 machines, and Version 7 was used on the DEC PDP-11. Saying Y
230 here would allow you to read from their floppies and hard disk
231 partitions.
232
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
236 a set of kernel modules that lets you run SCO, Xenix, Wyse,
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
253 <file:Documentation/filesystems/sysv-fs.txt>.
254 Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 27 KB.
255
256 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
257 sysv.
258
259 If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N.
