Um, you disabled MSDOS support in the kernel?? That'll make vfat support a bit difficult. To support vfat you need the following: FAT, MSDOS, and VFAT. They can be loaded as modules or compiled into the kernel proper. I personally haven't had much luck with the MSDOS support as a module, but it looks like it can be done. If you have installed kernel source, which you have if you roll your own, tale a look at /usr/src/linux/.config to see what's currently enabled (or disabled, as the case may be). To see which filesystems the kernel supports, do a 'cat /proc/filesystems' . If you're doing modules, 'lsmod' will probably be helpful also. I haven't had to do vfat support for a while, so it's always possible that I have no idea what I'm talking about :) Good Luck! : : Regards, : : de bedste hilsner ! : : michael legart : ---------------------- : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : NEW icq uin -> 2565176 : ---------------------- -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD 57104 Voice: (605) 334-4454 Fax: (605) 335-1173 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
