He may have been thinking of the VFAT fs, which is merely an option so
you can use to get the long filenames on Win95 partitions (not FAT32).

As for compiling the kernel...
Get the source tree, then do the following:

make mrproper
make menuconfig (or make config, but menu makes the options easy)
make clean
make dep
make zImage  (or bzImage if this fails due to too large a kernel)

then copy the arch/i386/zImage (is that right?) file to /vmlinuz
or to a new file, add the new file to lilo.conf, and run /sbin/lilo.

DO NOT FORGET TO RUN LILO!!!

You'll be sorry.....
