config E2TOOLS

	prompt "E2TOOLS - Ext2 Filesystem Tools"
	help
	  E2tools is a simple set of GPL'ed utilities to read, write,
	  and manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem. These
	  utilities access a filesystem directly using the ext2fs
	  library. I wrote these tools in order to copy files into
	  linux filesystem on a machine that does not have ext2
	  support. Of course, they can also be used on a linux
	  machine to read/write to disk images or floppies without
	  having to mount them or have root access.

	  The following functions have been implemented and have been
	  tested on Linux (not extensively though):

	  copy files: e2cp
	  move files: e2mv
	  remove files: e2rm
	  create directory: e2mkdir
	  create hard links: e2ln
	  list files/directories: e2ls
	  output the last part of a file: e2tail
