In menuconfig, under "FileSystems", when you turn on "Native Language
Support" you'll see the other options for DOS/WIN.

Hi,

You know Robert, you seem to be experiencing the exact same problems I've been 
that
I've overcome in the past 2 days with my hamm install. I posted to the list 
about this
specific filesystem support thing in the past 48 hours or so and got a ton of 
replies.

You need to enable the 'nls' (native languages support) option during make 
config,
make menuconfig, whatever and then all the msdos, vfat etc. filesystems will 
magically
appear. I think they should more clearly label this by making all of these a 
sub-group
of nls and using the '-->' that they do with the other sub-groups, so that 
you
know it leads to more options.

Chris
