2024-10-13Reworked the faq/drivers page.jbranso@dismail.de
* faq/drivers.mdwn: I changed the recommended hardware to the T60, which is currently the only hardware that you can use the Debian installer cd.

2024-06-17add example of how to create a custom filesystem.jbranso@dismail.de
Hey Samuel, this is another modification of a previous commit. Hopefully this addresses your critiques. I also added in "-E root_owner=$UID:0" to some other files, where I thought it was appropirate. Hopefully I didn't make any mistakes. I did test this by the way. I was able to get ~/silly/silly1 to be two nested ext2fs translators. All without having to execute "sudo"! * hurd/translator/ext2fs.mdwn: explain how to create a custom filesystem, and mentioned that the current limit for how many nested ext2fs filesystems there could be...is 32. * faq/still_useful: sbin/mk2fs dummy.fs -> sbin/mk2fs -E root_owner=$UID:0 dummy.fs * hurd/documentation/translators.html: as above. * open_issues_/64-bit_port.mdwn: as above Message-ID: <20240531191015.8761-1-jbranso@dismail.de>
