 G'day Debianites
 
 Just a quick question,
 
 I use Debian at home and windows at work, and often carry floppies to
 and fro, I'm fine if I bring a win formated floppy home, but if I
 forget to, I have no way of formating a floppy that windows can read.
 
 Is there a program for fat partions like e2fsprogs ?, or do I have to
 improve me memory ??
 
 Thanks
 
 Joel

Is there a program for fat partions like e2fsprogs ?, or do I have to
