139 | If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and | ||
140 | VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here | ||
141 | to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or | ||
142 | diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the | ||
143 | files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all | ||
144 | other Unix files. | ||
145 | |||
146 | This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides | ||
147 | the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or | ||
148 | M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in | ||
149 | order to make use of it. | ||
150 | |||
151 | Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive | ||
152 | partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the | ||
153 | mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in | ||
154 | order to do that. | ||
155 | |||
156 | If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a | ||
157 | Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS | ||
158 | file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program | ||
159 | available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar"). | ||
160 | |||
161 | The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure, | ||
162 | say Y. | ||
163 | |||
164 | To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called | ||
165 | fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you | ||
166 | cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel | ||
167 | -- they will have to be modules as well. | ||
168 | |||

170 | tristate "MSDOS fs support" | ||
171 | select FAT_FS | ||
172 | help | ||
173 | This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless | ||
174 | they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under | ||
175 | Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the | ||
176 | DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from | ||
177 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in | ||
178 | <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you | ||
179 | intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y | ||
180 | here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes | ||
181 | transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all | ||
182 | other Unix files. | ||
183 | |||
184 | If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS | ||
185 | partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs | ||
186 | support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames | ||
187 | generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT. | ||
188 | |||
189 | This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure, | ||
190 | answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support" | ||
191 | as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will | ||
192 | be called msdos. | ||
193 | |||
194 | config VFAT_FS | ||
195 | tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support" | ||
196 | select FAT_FS | ||
197 | help | ||
198 | This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with | ||
199 | long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems | ||
200 | used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix | ||
201 | programs from the mtools package. | ||
202 | |||
203 | The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only | ||
204 | works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read | ||
205 | the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details. If | ||
206 | unsure, say Y. | ||
207 | |||
208 | To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called | ||
209 | vfat. | ||

216 | This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems. | ||

224 | help | ||
225 | Set this to the default input/output character set you'd | ||
226 | like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set | ||
227 | that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden | ||
228 | with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems. | ||
229 | Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems. | ||
230 | If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here. | ||
