+config FAT_FS
+        tristate
+        select NLS
+        help
+          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.
+
+config VFAT_FS
+        tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support"
+        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
+          works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above.  Please read
+          the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details.  If
+          unsure, say Y.
+
+          To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+          vfat.
+
+config FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE
+        int "Default codepage for FAT"
+        depends on MSDOS_FS || VFAT_FS
+        default 437
+        help
+          This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems.
+          It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
+          See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
+
+config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
+        string "Default iocharset for FAT"
+        depends on VFAT_FS
+        default "iso8859-1"
+        help
+          Set this to the default input/output character set you'd
+          like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set
+          that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden
+          with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems.
+          Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems.
+          If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here.
+          See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
