Still trying to figure out how to make a RAM filesystem, I have a
question about tmpfs. Is this enabled in the TS-Linux kernel, and how
do I use it?

According to info I found on the Web, tmpfs is part of the 2.4 kernel,
and I should be able to mount it with:
  mount tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs -t tmpfs
/mnt/tmpfs exists; I created it. But I get an invalid argument error.

I also found this on the Web: 'To use tmpfs, all you need is a 2.4
series kernel with "Virtual memory file system support (former shm
fs)" enabled; this option lives under the "File systems" section of
the kernel configuration options.'

Is there something special I need to do when booting to enable virtual
memory file system? Where are the kernel options?

Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions.

Mike
