Correct, however it depends on what he wants to do, i dont have the
origanal posting anymore, however i have included the text from
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help after the next paragraph.
Just a small note, if one uses a standard "install kernel" the one from the
distribution disk or install medium, then there is possably no need to even
make a new kernel as support should be in module form, check;
/lib/modules/kernel_version_number/fs for sysv.o
/lib/modules/kernel_version_number/fs for iBCS.o
System V and Coherent filesystem support
CONFIG_SYSV_FS
SCO, Xenix and Coherent are commercial Unix systems for Intel
machines. Saying Y here would allow you to read to and write from
their floppies and hard disk partitions.
If you have floppies or hard disk partitions like that, it is likely
that they contain binaries from those other Unix systems; in order
to run these binaries, you will want to install iBCS2 (Intel Binary
Compatibility Standard is a kernel module which lets you run SCO,
Xenix, Wyse, UnixWare, Dell Unix and System V programs under Linux
and is often needed to run commercial software that's only available
for those systems. It's available via FTP (user: anonymous) from
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/BETA).
If you only intend to mount files from some other Unix over the
network using NFS, you don't need the System V filesystem support
(but you need NFS filesystem support obviously).
Note that this option is generally not needed for floppies, since a
good portable way to transport files and directories between unixes
(and even other operating systems) is given by the tar program ("man
tar" or preferably "info tar"). Note also that this option has
nothing whatsoever to do with the option "System V IPC". Read about
the System V filesystem in Documentation/filesystems/sysv-fs.txt.
Saying Y here will enlarge your kernel by about 34 KB.
If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be
called sysv.o.
If you haven't heard about all of this before, it's safe to say N.
