Funny, my first reaction was to want to ask you what an "installable
filesystem" is -- how are we supposed to furnish you with the Linux
equivalent if we don't know what an OS/2 HPFS tastes like :-)

It's frustrating that "under different circumstances you'd simply
give up and go away": if your dentist says you'll have to get your
swizzdingle cleaned if you want to eat hot food, I'd hope you'd just
ask what on earth a swizzdingle is. Hmm, maybe running a mile isn't
such a bad idea :-) But even your bank expects you'll help them palm
you off with "chequing accounts", "EFTPOS transactions", and other
jargon.
