+To build YAFFS in the Linux kernel tree you need to run the patch-ker.sh
+script from the yaffs source directory, giving your choice as to whether
+you wish to copy (c) or link (l) the code and the path to your kernel
+sources, e.g:
+
+./patch-ker.sh c /usr/src/linux
+
+This will copy the yaffs files into fs/yaffs2 and modify the Kconfig
+and Makefiles in the fs directory.
+
+./patch-ker.sh l /usr/src/linux
+
+This does the same as the above but makes symbolic links instead.
+
+After you've run the script, go back to your normal kernel making procedure
+and configure the yaffs settings you want.
