Hi!
> I would appreciate some help on the FAT32 issue, regarding DR DOS support.
I would be also interested for private use and for my drdos site.

Not perfectly, because it is a redirector. This means no NWCACHE support
etc. a FAT32 kernel was developed, but it isn't avaiable in the normal
version.
> 2. What one should have/download in order to enable this support?
The fat32 (you should find it at www.drdos.org /.net), for Network
somewhere should be also an update avaiable.
> 3. Once obtained the proper drivers/files/etc..., how are they installed and
> configured?
Theoreticly you have to add a line in config.sys
(devicehigh=drfat32.sys) and autoexec.bat (drfat32.exe)
> 4. Are there any limitations for the FAT32 support, like, maximum disk size
> supported, long file names, special partitioning, etc...?
> 5. Any other suggestions that may come to mind regarding this topic?
No, but the last FreeDOS kernel supports FAT32....not without bugs, but.....
bye,
