Correct it is fat... So some background, in the big "default" 2GB/4GB desktop image's we've always had a "96MB fat" partition, that contained this repo: https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-getting-started Which contain: windows drivers mac drivers schematic etc.. So by moving it to an *.img, we save space and we can upgrade it... So when windows 10.xyz comes out, new drivers can be "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" away..
