Card Reader?

[FQ22]

Somebody told me you need a card reader in order to format your SD memory. Is that true?

Yes.

I use a card reader for my GP32, GP2X, and PSP!!!!!! It's one of the best investments that I've ever made!!!!!!!!!!!! H.G.

Yes, you must have an external card reader (which takes SD cards).

I have personally found (if you use Windows XP) that you need to format on FAT and not FAT32, otherwise you could end up with a bricked/corrupted SD card (happened to me).

Does anyone use something like that with Linux? All of the ones I've looked at have all mentioned Windows only, but I figure that some would work with Linux.
