 			INSTALLING SQUASHFS
 
-The squashfs1.3.tar.gz file contains this file, a README file,
+The squashfs1.3r2.tar.gz file contains this file, a README file,
 an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS file, a CHANGES file, the squashfs patch directories/files, and
 the squashfs-tools directory (mksquashfs).
 
 1. Patching the kernel
 ----------------------
 
-There are four kernel patch directories depending on your linux kernel version.
-In each directory there are patches to provide squashfs1.3 support from a base kernel,
-and incremental upgrade patches, that will upgrade a squashfs1.2 patched kernel
-to a squashfs1.3 kernel (except for 2.6.0-test1).
+There are five kernel patch directories depending on your linux kernel version.
+In each directory there are patches to provide squashfs1.3 release 2 support
+from a base kernel, and an incremental upgrade patch that upgrades a
+squashfs1.3 patched kernel to a squashfs1.3r2 kernel (except for 2.4.22 and
+2.6.0-test7).
 
 To patch your kernel, cd into the top level directory, and run the "patch"
 comand, e.g. assuming linux-2.4.20
 
 %cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20
-%patch -p1 < location-of-squashfs/linux-2.4.20/squashfs1.3-patch
+%patch -p1 < location-of-squashfs/linux-2.4.20/squashfs1.3r2-patch
 
-Where "location-of-squashfs" is the path to the squashfs1.3 source directory.
+Where "location-of-squashfs" is the path to the squashfs1.3r2 source directory.
 
 The squashfs patches patch the relevant kernel files to add configure support,
 initrd support, include files, and the squashfs directory under linux/fs/.
 Once patched, the kernel must be reconfigured, with squashfs support turned on
-(either Y/M) to ensure that inflatefs is built into the kernel.  The
-squashfs kernel option can be found in the filesystems subsection of the
-configure menus.
