For an ESP on a disk partition, it would be FAT32 (while FAT12 or FAT16 can be used for removable media). VFAT is an extension to FAT allowing long filenames. In any case it's just a symlink: ~ $ ls -la /usr/bin/mkfs.vfat lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 24 08:52 /usr/bin/mkfs.vfat -> mkfs.fat > I did notice one thing, I copied some USE flags over from my current > rig.

Some of the USE flags will be dictated by the make.profile you used. If you selected the merged /usr profile 23.0 and the corresponding non-legacy stage 3 archive for desktop plasma 23.0, you shouldn't have USE="split-usr".
