Jeff,
I was looking for a solution to the 8.3 FAT file names on the floppy. Am I
completely off base with cramfs?

I think I'm the only one that's mentioned it as a possibility, so you
didn't miss anything.

I thought cramfs, ramfs, and packramfs combination did that too. From this
conversation I gather I'm wrong.

I thought cramfs was a bootstrap file system for ramfs.
cramfs = .lrp + fat
ramfs = ramdisk
packramfs = lrcfg -> backup
I obviously don't understand the capabilities of these file systems. :(
