remove two obsolete HFS docs
PATCH 1/1 remove two obsolete HFS docs
I can't judge about the other docs under fs/hfs/ , but the INSTALL.txt and Changelog there are definitely too outdated to be useful for anyone. The patch below removes them.

@@ -1,124 +0,0 @@ - Installation instructions for the HFS Filesystem for Linux - Paul H. Hargrove, [email protected] - version 0.95 28 Apr 1997 - - This document explains how to compile and install version 0.95 of - hfs_fs, the HFS filesystem for Linux. - - 11.. SSyysstteemm RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss - - You will need the following to compile and use this release of hfs_fs: - - +o Kernel version 2.0.1 or newer compiled with modules enabled - (CONFIG_MODULES). - - +o The kernel sources (or at least the header files) available online. - - +o The module utilities package current for your kernel version and an - understanding of how to use it. - - 22.. IInnssttaallllaattiioonn - - This release of the HFS filesystem is not part of the official kernel - distribution. Therefore, it is compiled as a module and then loaded - into the kernel using the module utilities. Therefore, your kernel - must be compiled with CONFIG_MODULES enabled. - - 22..11.. CCoommppiilliinngg tthhee llooaaddaabbllee mmoodduullee - - To compile hfs.o you should only need to execute ``make'' in the - hfs_fs source directory. - - If gcc complains about not finding a large number of header files with - names beginning with ``linux/'' then you probably don't have the - kernel header files installed correctly. Either /usr/include/linux, - /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/scsi should be symbolic links to - include/linux, include/asm and include/scsi in the kernel source tree - for the kernel you wish to use hfs_fs with, or else they should be - directories containing the header files for the kernel you wish to use - hfs_fs with. - - If gcc complains about not finding linux/version.h, then you will need - to run ``make dep'' in the kernel source directory to build it. Under - MkLinux, run ``make include/linux/version.h'' instead. - - If gcc complains about not finding the files linux/config.h or - linux/autoconf.h, then you will need to run ``make config'' and ``make - dep'' in the kernel source directory to build these two files. - - If you are compiling on a DEC Alpha and receive messages saying - assignment from incompatible pointer type when compiling files dir_*.c - and file_*.c, then you need to change a single line in the file - linux/hfs_fs.h. Remove the text ``&& !defined(__alpha__)'' from the - end of line 217. - - 22..22.. IInnssttaalllliinngg tthhee mmoodduullee iinn tthhee mmoodduulleess ddiirreeccttoorryy ((ooppttiioonnaall)) - - If you plan to use kerneld to automatically load the module or if you - wish to use modprobe or insmod without supplying a complete path to - hfs.o, then you will need to copy hfs.o into a directory where the - module utilities expect to find it. - - The proper directory may depend slightly on your configuration. - However, /lib/modules/default/fs/ is a common one for filesystem - modules. Once hfs.o is in the proper directory you should run depmod - -a to update the dependency list used by kerneld and modprobe. - - 22..33.. LLooaaddiinngg tthhee mmoodduullee iinnttoo tthhee rruunnnniinngg kkeerrnneell - - There are three ways to accomplish this: - - 1. If you are running kerneld and have installed hfs.o in the modules - directory then you don't need to issue any commands; the module - will be loaded when you attempt to mount an HFS filesystem. - - 2. If you are _n_o_t running kerneld then you can load hfs.o manually by - running modprobe hfs.o. If you have not installed hfs.o in one of - the standard module directories, then you will need provide a full - path to the file hfs.o. - - 3. If you have been experiencing kernel crashes with hfs_fs, then you - should file a bug report including the names of the functions which - the EIP and Stack Trace point into. To help with this you can ask - for relocation map for the module when you load it. To do this - load the module with ``insmod -m hfs.o >loadmap''. Again, you may - need a full path to the file hfs.o if you have not placed it in one - of the standard module directories. - - 22..44.. UUssiinngg tthhee mmoodduullee wwiitthh vveerrssiioonneedd ssyymmbboollss - - All the interface between the module and the kernel take place through - very stable (since the mid-1.3.x kernels) parts of the kernel. If you - enabled versioned symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) when you compiled your - kernel you should often be able to compile this module once and then - use it with many kernels newer than the one you compiled it for. - - In any case, it is unlikely that this module will need changes with - each new kernel patch; simple recompilation should usually suffice. - - 33.. LLeeggaall NNoottiicceess - - 33..11.. TThhiiss DDooccuummeenntt - - This document is Copyright (c) 1996, 1997 by Paul H.
