Please Help Out Your Local Idiot

[RyokoSparda]

I need help with Linux, I've been using it for about 9 years but I still don't know how you format media cards on it.

Please can someone tell me how do you format an SD card to FAT32 in Mandriva 2006 I'm sick of doing all my formatting in XP.

mkdosfs -F32 /dev/yoursd

I am spost to put the mount point on the end right? I put SDA1 on there and it comes up command not found :blink:

I believe you need to do it as root

and you might need to install some packages to handle it, not sure, but if you get command not found that's probably the case

edit: dosfstools that provides mkdosfs, at least for gentoo

It can do it I've done it once before in that Mandriva but I can't remember what it was.

Thanks for trying to help anyway. ^_^
