Yes, sometimes the most obvious answers
are the very ones which ellude us.
'mke2fs' was the command I was looking for!
Thanks to Mike Fieschko for bringing that up.
The file system is recognized and functioning
reasonably well for being on an old 400 meg HD.
So; fdisk /dev/hdc, create new partition /dev/hdc1
'mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /extralinux'
'mke2fs /dev/hdc1'
Seems to have done it!
Thanks again, maybe I won't forget the next time ! :-)
It would be nice to have a GUI which would do this
for the coding/commandline impaired like myself.
I have been using Linux for over 3 years and still
make the most bumbling goofs! Actually I guess
a GUI wouldn't help that either.
Hows the progress with 'DiskDrake'?
Has anyone used it with success?
Thanks again to those who helped.
