Use the kernerl-source-2.0.33-9.deb (latest) as the kernel source package
to recompile. The standard 2.0.33 source package (sunsite, tsx-11, etc)
does NOT have the latest patches. I made the mistake of trying to add the
patches to the debian source package (which already had them) and it
REMOVED the patches (reverse patch). This is the default action of patch,
and I didn't know what it (I) was doing at the time. I think the fat-32
option is in the internal code section (code page) of the menuconfig script
as it is bundled with other stuff.
