This distribution contains a subset of the e2fsprogs package; it contains the base libraries (ss, et, uuid, blkid) which may be used by other non-ext2-related applications. This may be useful for non-Linux operating systems that need these libraries for GNOME, but who do not need the ext2/ext3 filesystem utilities. The full e2fsprogs distributions can be found at the e2fsprogs web page, which is: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net In case of bugs in these libraries, please contact Ted Ts'o at tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu.
