Do you want to call mkfs.vfat from console or ptxdist failed because it
doesn't find any mkfs.vfat. I suppose the second one:

maybe install mkfs.vfat with the packet manager from your distribution.

for ubuntu/mint/debian:

aptitude install dosfstools

I think it should placed in dosfstools. Otherway to find out where the
mkfs.vfat is placed, you can do:

aptitude install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search mkfs.vfat

for ubuntu/mint/debian.



btw. Maybe we should add a host rule for this or check on configure
but we should add a host rule.
