Thanks for your time, =09DK PS - sysinstall had a very appropriate caveat about how fdisk doesn't actually format other Subtypes (such as FAT), it only reserves the space for other tools to do so. Is there an "mtools or mformat" type of tool to format for msdos or FAT or FAT16 (same thing?) or FAT32?
