  5. If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
  6. VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
  7. to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
  8. diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
  9. files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
  10. other Unix files.
  11. This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
  12. the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
  13. M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
  14. order to make use of it.
  15. Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
  16. partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
  17. mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
  18. order to do that.
  19. If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
  20. Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
  21. file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
  22. available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
  23. The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
  24. say Y.
  25. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
  26. fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you
  27. cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel
  28. -- they will have to be modules as well.
  29. config MSDOS_FS
  30. tristate "MSDOS fs support"
  31. select FAT_FS
  32. help
  33. This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless
  34. they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under
  35. Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the
  36. DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
  37. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in
  38. <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you
  39. intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y
  40. here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes
  41. transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all
  42. other Unix files.
  43. If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS
  44. partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs
  45. support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames
  46. generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT.
  47. This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure,
  48. answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support"
  49. as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
  50. be called msdos.
  51. config VFAT_FS
  52. tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support"
  53. select FAT_FS
  54. help
  55. This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with
  56. long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems
  57. used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix
  58. programs from the mtools package.
  59. The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only
  60. works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read
  61. the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for details. If
  62. unsure, say Y.
  63. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
  64. vfat.
  65. config FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE
  66. int "Default codepage for FAT"
  67. depends on MSDOS_FS || VFAT_FS
  68. default 437
  69. help
  70. This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems.
  71. It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
  72. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
  73. config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
  74. string "Default iocharset for FAT"
  75. depends on VFAT_FS
  76. default "iso8859-1"
  77. help
  78. Set this to the default input/output character set you'd
  79. like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set
  80. that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden
  81. with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems.
  82. Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems.
  83. If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here.
  84. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt> for more information.
  85. Enable any character sets you need in File Systems/Native Language
  86. Support.
