I don't know what comes with the installer, but mkdosfs will format a fat32 partition. fdisk or one of the variants should be fine.
The question then is why you can't make a 5th... This goes back to the days of DOS: there used to be a limit of 4 partitions. That was never really removed. These are now called "Primary Partitions" and "Extended Partitions" are the ones past 4: they are effectively subdivisions of a primary partition. So if you have 4 Primaries defined, you can't make an extended until you delete a primary partition. Yes, it is dumb. The joys of ensuring DOS1.0 compatibility. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35188 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
