USB flash key and other issues.

[alexandre suzuki <alex_o_suzuki@yahoo.com>]

1)I have a USB flash key of 1Gb but my
DebianPPC-kernel
2.6.8 when booting recognize the key,the
seller(Verbatim),
etc. but when I try to mount the key I can´t find a
filesystem
to do so: msdos,vfat etc. are not good,I receive a
warning
saying that can´t find a FAT filesystem on the key.In
MacOS9.2
the filesystem on the key is PC Exchange(MS-DOS)(PC
Exchange is
the extension that deals with MS-DOS,Windows
filesystems.).
The key in System Requirements says that is compatible
with
Linux kernel >= 2.4.,do I need to format /dev/sda with
mkfs?

2)I upgraded initrd-tools from version 0.1.78 to
0.1.81.1,
  (to install libc6-2.3.5-8) but when booting I see: 
  .
  .
  .
  initrd-tools: 0.1.78
  .
  .
  .
  
  With dpkg --status initrd-tools  ,I see that
0.1.81.1 is
  installed without any problem: install ok installed.
  So,what is happening here?I need to upgrade libc6 to
  2.3.5-8 version but it needs initrd-tools > 0.1.78.
  I try and I can install libc6-2.3.5-8 but I don´t do
that
  because of potential problems.
  
3) I can stop processes manually with the kill
command.What
is the command to start them manually?


                         Thanks.
