							|  |  |  | 	  If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  other Unix files. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  order to make use of it. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  order to do that. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar"). | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  say Y. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  fat.  Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  -- they will have to be modules as well. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | config MSDOS_FS | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	tristate "MSDOS fs support" | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	select FAT_FS | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	help | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  other Unix files. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support" | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  be called msdos. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 |

							|  |  |  | 	select FAT_FS | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	help | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  long filenames.  That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  programs from the mtools package. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only |
