I have a dual boot system and am trying to get the linux side to
recognize my windows partition.  When I try to mount a vfat filesystem,
I'm told that my kernel does not recognize vfat.  All the words in the
RedHat installation manual say that 6.0 does recognize vfat and my old
RH5.2 version did.  What do I have to do to my kernel to get it to
recognize vfat?  I'd appreciate any help someone can give.

Thx
