Now you're talking my language.  I've been saying this ever since I started way
back when with compact flash disks which back then were REALLY expensive.  Also
never format them with Windows or any other formatting scheme, other than
e2fsprogs (ext2), as that will ensure they'll never work with anythng.  Fat16
will work but ext2 is vastly superior except it won't work with crappy embedded
devices, if that even matters any.  dosfstools will work if that is an issue,
which it really isn't in this case (bootable flash disks) since there is only
one OS that really matters.  The rest don't matter when it comes to doing REAL
computer type stuff.  

Life is good,
Maurice
