^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) order to make use of it.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
