Possibly this isn't the right place to ask, but there are several
questions I have about a few of the patches to pre10+BigMama. I couldn't
seem to find a direct description of what patches are included in this
BigMama patch...

It seems there are several new configuration options.

- 'Processor Features'. Is there any intention to add P2 and PPro
features to this list of Cyrix features?

- 'parallel port sharing support'. I thought I had an Iomega Parallel zip
and printer support working properly before. Why the change? There is
also scsi-emulation support; are both necessary?

- Several configuration options are not listed as 'EXPERIMENTAL' on the
configuration screen, but are listed as expermental in 'Help'. Which are
correct?

- Several options are missing 'Help'. I'd hate to see 2.0.31 released
without help options.. Ask me for specifics..

- Ext2 file compression. This isn't marke as experimental, but I haven't
ever seen this before. What is its status?

Thanks,
Dave
