When I boot into Knoppix - what do I do to make a FAT partition?

[saikee]

In root console run cfdisk with command "cfdisk /dev/sda" if sda is the disk you want to partition.

Use cfdisk to create a partition and change it to type 6 or e for fat16 or b or c for fat32, depending if you need it to run LBA or not.

Write the partition table, reboot to finalise the partition.

Then in a root console type

mkdosfs -F16 /dev/sdb5

if you want sda5 (previously created in fat16 type) to have a fat16 filing system. Use -F32 parameter instead of -F16 if you want it to be fat32.

You can proceed to use it.
