no vfat in RH 6.0

[Alex <radsky ncia net>]

My hard drive contains:   C:,  D:, and Linux.  The D: partition is used
as a catch all; it has no OS installed.   I use it as a utility  for
both Windows and Linux.  In Linux, it is hda5

I have two aliases in Linux that lets me access the contents of D:
(hda5) with simple commands,  D+ to mount  and D- to unmount and remove
the directory

When I was using RH5.2, I was able to access hda5 with this command;

       mkdir /mnt/hda5; mount  -t vfat  /dev/hda5/ /mnt/hda5; cd
/mnt/hda5; ls -aF

and then close it with:

      cd;  umount /mnt/hda5;  rmdir /mnt/hda5

I'm now using RH 6.0 and the above command doesn't work.    I get a
notice that the kernel doesn't support ' vfat  ' .   The man mount page
shows something like 'vstype' which I don't understand.

Short of going back to RH 5.2, is there anything I can do to access the
D: (hda5) partition in RH 6.0?
