Re: [ptxdist] mkfs.vfat is not available

Hi,

RE: He wants to have mkfs.vfat on his target.

Yes , I want to format a SATA hard drive from the console
Of my target system.

How do I get the mkfs.vfat onto the target, what are the ptxdist steps ? I have mkfs.vfat on the host.

Do I have rebuilt the rootfs ?

Regards
Pat

mhh this would be the easiest case: He wants to have mkfs.vfat on his target. I thought some mkfs failed while image creation, sometimes I think too complicated.
