[lug] DOS Support?

[John Hernandez]

Your kernel probably already supports it (if it's stock Red Hat).  As 
root, try 'mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos' where /dev/hda1 is the 
FAT32 partition and /mnt/dos is an existing mount point.

If you don't have the proper kernel modules, you'll get an 
"unsupported"-type error, in which case you'll need to compile the fat 
and vfat modules via 'cd /usr/src/linux;make menuconfig ...'
