It did indeed; Linux existed with *only* MINIX filesystem support for
quite some time.
Now it supports everything from FAT12 to ZFS. ;) (and to some extent FILES-11)
Btw, don't try to install it to FAT32. It's to exactly fond of that.

Hello!
My first Slackware jobs were on a FAT32 system with Zipslack unzipped
there. It worked rather well for a time after I managed to get sound
working. Eventually I managed to get the same one running native. And
on a different system (really the first P100 system I started with.
The other was a P3.)
Let me rephrase: don't try to install modern Arch Linux to FAT32. ;)
Now I have Slackware 13.37 running on something later and grouchier.
This does not explain why Dave your building is being used for a
snowball as handball game exercise.
Sure it does! Something something linux wars and practicing.

Hello!
Indeed. 2.6 and later do not support the UMSDOS forms. However that
was aimed at Dave, not you Cory.
However why is there an escaped bigfoot making its way towards you
right now Cory?

I believe so, If I remember correctly he didn't intend for anyone to care or take it seriously.

Well it worked for about 3 logons. It's borked again.
Too bad nobody is maintaining the Linux DECNET packages anymore.
Yeah the module doesn't build on newer kernels, iirc. I tried. ;)
Actually, it does, but procfs and sysfs or whatever have changed too much for it to be configured.
Which is one of my main gripes with Linux. The whole kernel development is just a mess. They constantly design really bad solutions and implement them. Then they realize they suck, and they change the kernel interfaces to fix things. But that leaves lots of broken code around in different places.
It's horrifically fractured, too. So many different distributions try to do things their own way and there's so much conflicting "standardisation" linux DEFINITELY inherited that from UNIX. ;)
