This means that the normal msdos fs there dos support fat32 too, automagically.

Re: VFAT32 support?
Is linux kernel vfat support compatible with the vfat32 from the microsoft recent OEM WIN95 release? lawrence, I would strongly doubt it. vfat used to be just a superset of the fat filesystem so it was too difficult to add support. vfat32, on the otherhand, is a big jump considering the fact that most dos utilities won't work with it either. Its a FULL 32 bit FAT.. they are trying *really* hard to make everybody run NT, whether the person knows it or not. :) (NT and 95 look almost identical now, and are merging utilities back and forth..HMMM...) You CAN however NOT install the vfat32 on the system, and use the old win95 vfat. -- Daniel Stringfield mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jax-inter.net/users/servo Send email for more information on the Jacksonville Linux Users Group! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

No, vfat does not give FAT32 capability. It is a superset of the FAT filesystem (having nothing to do with the FAT itself really: it fiddles the directory entries). FAT32 is being worked on, I did see a message to this effect in c.o.l.dev. -- William Burrow -- Fredericton Area Network, New Brunswick, Canada Copyright 1996 William Burrow This line left intentionally blank. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

There is no way present win 95 users will be able to get until the nex major release of windows. By the way, from what I have heard there is really no reason to use it unless you want a huge gigabyte sized partition, which I personally don't like. There is no speed improvement in vfat32 Shaya -- Shaya Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
