Re: msdos file system
Sorry, I missed the original post. I think you are looking for mformat,
available in the mtools package. This may only work on floppies (not
sure). I personally prefer superformat which is on the rescue image, but
not part of the base installation (and no where else that I know of, so I
stole it :-).
Good luck,
Brandon
