Re: FAT 32

[Heikki Vatiainen <hessu@cs.tut.fi>]

I don't think there's a .deb for fat32. However, see 
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html for info about Linux and 
fat32.

A friend of mine patched his kernel and has had no complaints about it so far. 
If you decide to go for a custom kernel, check kernel-package in the misc 
section. The instructions how to build a kernel with it can be found from 
/usr/doc/kernel-package.

When you have your fat32 aware kernel up and running, the filesystem type for 
mount is vfat. Try something like 'mount -tvfat /dev/fat32partition 
/mnt/fat32'. At least that's what my friend said :)
