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.

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
194config 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.

214 default 437
215 help
216 This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems.
217 It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
218 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
219
220config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET

223 default "iso8859-1"
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.
231 See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
