The steps to install and run a kernel with support is the following: * patch the kernel with patches/puffs.diff + maybe resolve some conflicts * create /dev/puffs with major number 171 (or if someone stole that already, anything that was available when you patched conf/majors): mknod /dev/puffs c 171 524287 + this will *definately* change when this is integrated * drop sys/miscfs/puffs into your kernel tree * add "file-system PUFFS" into your kernel config file * recompile kernel, reboot * run your puffs implementation (see user documentation on webpage) * pray (unless your prayer timeout is not up, your god is angry or you are in Gehennom, in which case just prepare for YASD)
