I like the idea of the menuconfig, but the current one is so
inefficient to complete that I don't use it. It takes me
about 20% of the time to use the normal config.

However, back to the original point, I agree that the ext2 filesystem
should be made the firm standard - maybe by even not asking about the
others unless Y is given to:

Support for alternative native filesystems (y/N):

Also, it would be nice if some effort was invested in making a
filesystem which is compative to some other major U**x's such as
Solaris, Irix. Does anyone know of such work?
