Whenever I format a flash drive I'm always terrified that I'm going to fat-finger something in the terminal and accidentally blow away a partition on one of my hard drives. *shudder* Is gparted the best gui to handle this task? Or is there something better? I'd really prefer something more limited that just allows me to select whatever it sees as a removable drive and disallows any screwin' about with the other drives. "Format the USB connected drive?". "Choose format (ext4, ext3, fat32)". "Blammo." -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
