So if FAT+Minix support is approximately 30K, there is no difference in

floppies/ramdisks? Do vfat formatted floppies have a greater amount of
writable area than ext2 formatted ones? Does Linux

I think vfat is the best thing to do. I use vfat in my kernel -- it's
15K in 2.2, 16K in 2.4. UPX would turn that into .003 bytes, right :-)

I just hunted through my module archives and I've never built it as a
module...
I also did a google search, but the only ones I turned up in reasonable
timeframe were compiled for NetBSD. Those are 51K (!).

Jack,
That's huge. How big is minix? We can subtract

Not sure what you mean. If you mean from kernel size for the total size
change, then

I think the concept is to raise the bar by putting vfat into the
kernel. If vfat doesn't depend on the msdos code, then omit msdos
to reduce size and risk of manipulating vfat filenames as msdos
filenames (which can strand LFN data in the FAT).
