I am trying to set up a usb flash drive.  Now when I attempt to mount it 
says'not a valid block device' so I take that to mean it is not formatted.  I 
run suse 8.2 on that machine, so it appears (locate) that I do not have 
mkfs.vfat or mkfs.vfat.  Where can i find thse files (preferably already 
compiled).  I want to use FAT32 because I transfer files from my dosemu 
directory to a home xp machine.
