Yes and no. I don't think support for FAT32 was added to Windows '95
until fairly recently. The patch appeared as fast as you could ask a
total stranger who was as you must realize doing you a big favor.

There's one in contrib, but it is built for kernel 2.0.30. Stop fretting
about this right now! This patching business is so easy you can't believe
it. Go to
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html
You have the kernel sources for some kernel between 2.0.31 and 2.0.33 (if
not some of the numbers to follow will have to change). Get patch-0.2.9
(fat32_joliet_nls_patch-0.2.9.gz). Put it in /usr/src. "gunzip" it.
>From /usr/src, type
% patch -p0 < fat32_joliet_nls_patch-0.2.9
build your new kernel. You must do your make config over, since the patch
adds items.
