mkdosfs
For the life of me, I cannot find mkdosfs in Arch.
Where could I get that? Or is there another utility to make FAT32 filesystems?

Re: mkdosfs
According to pacman, you have to install "dosfstools".

Re: mkdosfs
[ben@localhost ben]$ pacman -Qo /sbin/mkdosfs
/sbin/mkdosfs is owned by dosfstools 2.9-1
[ben@localhost ben]$

Re: mkdosfs
of course this function doesn't help you figure out what package you need to get that includes a certain file, if you don't have the package installed already (catch-22) -- but it makes it easy for others to help you.
it would be cool if there was an online db resource of all the files included in all the packages so you could look up package owner based on its location..
