Linux kernel 2.6.8 on s390. CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC: If you say Y here, it will be possible to plug wrapper-driven binary formats into the kernel. You will like this especially when you use programs that need an interpreter to run like Java, Python, .NET or Emacs-Lisp. It's also useful if you often run DOS executables under the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). Once you have registered such a binary class with the kernel, you can start one of those programs simply by typing in its name at a shell prompt; Linux will automatically feed it to the correct interpreter. You can do other nice things, too. Read the file <file:Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt> to learn how to use this feature, <file:Documentation/java.txt> for information about how to include Java support. and <file:Documentation/mono.txt> for information about how to include Mono-based .NET support. To use binfmt_misc, you will need to mount it: mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc You may say M here for module support and later load the module when you have use for it; the module is called binfmt_misc. If you don't know what to answer at this point, say Y. See this item in context Full configuration for 2.6.8 on s390 Home   Search
