I understand it. GParted is for experienced users and I would rather
do manual formatting instead of 'sudo gparted' for such trivial operation
but I'm talking about very unexperienced users. There is an alternative
for GParted, it's GDU, which doesn't ask you to start it under root and I
hope it may be more useful for users: they have write rights to USB drive
but not to system one so will not accidentally break own system. In any
case, it should be available from a computer:// folder for unexperienced
users directly without searching for it via start menu so what I asked
you is how to help someone who doesn't know much about unixes (imagine
all new users who freshly came from Windows world for example). We should
help them. Do you have any ideas how to organize it properly? Thank you
in advance.
Andriy.
P.S. BTW, I suppose FAT16 isn't appropriate for 8GB drives, it may not
always work, FAT32 seems more fit for them.
