Er, Linux was labeling FAT partitions as VFAT before FAT32 came along. If
VFAT supports FAT32, that's great (and it appears to; I just put ML 6.1 on
a box with a 4 GB FAT partition and it appears to read and wite it). But
VFAT also supports FAT16 partitions with long file names.

Perhaps I'm being overly pedantic here, but they appear to me to be
different.

I also found out that NT 4 with SP5 supports FAT32. Well, well, well.
