Hi...

        I just downloaded ext2 from tsx-11 but don't know what
to do with it :(

        I untar'd it into /linux, where it seemed to want to go,
except am wondering how it knows to compile it into the kernel.
I cheated and added 'ext2' to FS_SUBDIRS and it seem to be doing
it.

        Oops...maybe not...loads of errors :( (writing this while
it compiles..or doesn't) Is there something I must do, that is not
documented, to compile this? Did I install this incorrectly? The
major error that I seem to be getting is:

balloc.c:#:union has no member named `ext2_sb`

        In case it has something to do with installation, to install
ext2fs-0.2.tar.Z was:

        cd /
        zcat ext2fs-0.2.tar.Z | tar xvof -

        What I'm most curious about, though, is what do I set up in
fdisk? just as a normal 83, extended fs?
