I presume you're looking for UMSDOS/VFAT support from your
|
|
kernel. In other words you want to access Win '9x long file
|
|
names and you want to be able to store UNIX/Linux meta-data
|
|
(permissions, ownership and group association) on your MS-DOS
|
|
filesystems.

|
|
The uvfat code is included with the mainstream Linux kernel
|
|
sources. So, just compile a new kernel, and select "Y" and/or
|
|
"M" (module) for the UMSDOS and VFAT support options.

Be sure to read the "The Linux Kernel HOWTO"

(<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html"

on building new kernels.
