[13:44:40 /tmp]$ dpkg -S fsck.msdos
dosfstools: /sbin/fsck.msdos
dosfstools: /usr/share/man/man8/fsck.msdos.8.gz
[13:46:14 /tmp]$
Then you need the dosfstools package. But where on the CD is it?
[13:56:26 /tmp]$ grep dosfstools /var/lib/dpkg/available
Package: dosfstools
Filename: dists/woody/main/binary-i386/otherosfs/dosfstools_2.6-1.deb
[13:57:25 /tmp]$
