That system did not have it.  I wonder if it because I did a "server"
install of the OS on that.  I just reinstalled RH8 on my other box that
I needed the files off of and I see the modules are there now...hmmm.

That is what I get for trying to do things on too little sleep...

I'm curious...My RH 8.0 came with vfat/fat moduels
pre-loaded.  The only ones I've loaded are for
scsi-emuliation (imm and parport).
