WHAT IS THIS DRIVER?
==================
This module implements the native filesystem of BeOS <http://www.be.com/>
for the linux 2.4.1 and later kernels. Currently it is a read-only implementation.

Which is it, BFS or BEFS?
================
Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".
But Unixware Boot Filesystem is called bfs, too. And they are already in the
kernel.
Because of this nameing conflict, on Linux the BeOS filesystem is called befs.

HOW TO INSTALL
==============
step 1. Install the BeFS patch into the source code tree of linux.
Apply the patchfile to your kernel source tree.
Assuming that your kernel source is in /foo/bar/linux and the patchfile is called
patch-befs-xxx, you would do the following:

cd /foo/bar/linux
patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-befs-xxx

The BeFS module is not a standard part of the linux kernel, so you must first
enable support for experimental code under the "Code maturity level" menu.
Then, under the "Filesystems" menu will be an option called "BeFS filesystem (experimental)",
or something like that. Enable that option (it is fine to make it a module).
