Hi all,
I have a USB pendrive formatted as umsdos (I think), and I just can't mount
it with my Debian Etch 2.6 kernel machine.
The pendrive mounts flawlessly under a Slakware 2.4 kernel machine, with a
fstab entry of:

Hi Guys n Gals,
I would like to have umsdos with the long file name ability. Does anyone
have such a setup ? If so, how ?
My googling brought up uvfat (from around 1997-1998) but that seems to
have disappeared altogether from most everywhere.

Hi All,
I've been trying to get uvfat working and it says that I just need to
enable umsdos and vfat (which I have) and they both work fine.
However, when I do

roach over umsdos is that you can install the rootfs
