umm you can't use windows 95 without at least also using VFAT because VFAT is simplly FAT with a few extra tricks. Either he is referring to FAT32 which is in compatable with the previous fats, or he doesn't known the differenece. > > -your kernel does not support the vfat fs > > Try mounting it as a fat partition or check whether your kernel supports > > vfat. > I seem to recall that vfat sort of needed fat to work (tho my memory > could be failing me...), would it matter if vfat was a module, and fat > was compiled into the kernel? More to the point, if it was compiled yep. There is a common fat module for both ms-dos and vfat fats. as to being a module. No difference, get make sure your using kerneld or mount it manually.
