Also, you cannot read the files with older 796 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat. 797 798 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives 799 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment 800 (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer 801 that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention -- 802 often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured 803 to use the same IRQ).

It is to 1843 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you 1844 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like 1845 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file 1846 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and 1847 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 1848 1849 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a 1850 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients. 1851 1852 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and 1853 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. 1854 1855 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called 1856 ncpfs. Say N unless you are connected to a Novell network. 1857 1858source "fs/ncpfs/Kconfig" 1859 1860config CODA_FS 1861 tristate "Coda file system support (advanced network fs)" 1862 depends on INET 1863 help 1864 Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it 1865 enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them 1866 with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard 1867 disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 1868 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 1869 replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 1870 persistent client caches and write back caching. 1871 1872 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 1873 *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the 1874 client and server. Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need 1875 no kernel support. Please read 1876 <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda 1877 home page <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>. 1878 1879 To compile the coda client support as a module, choose M here: the 1880 module will be called coda. 1881 1882config CODA_FS_OLD_API 1883 bool "Use 96-bit Coda file identifiers" 1884 depends on CODA_FS 1885 help 1886 A new kernel-userspace API had to be introduced for Coda v6.0 1887 to support larger 128-bit file identifiers as needed by the 1888 new realms implementation. 1889 1890 However this new API is not backward compatible with older 1891 clients. If you really need to run the old Coda userspace 1892 cache manager then say Y. 1893 1894 For most cases you probably want to say N. 1895 1896config AFS_FS 1897# for fs/nls/Config.in 1898 tristate "Andrew File System support (AFS) (Experimental)" 1899 depends on INET && EXPERIMENTAL 1900 select RXRPC 1901 help 1902 If you say Y here, you will get an experimental Andrew File System 1903 driver.
