I received a Father's day gift - PNY 4 Gig flash drive.
FC-6 sees it as /dev/sdc1, /media/USB2FD and fdisk reports as below.
How do I
Use this gadget? I think I saw something on the list advising
not to reformat or change the file system?
Can I use it as is and how do I deal with it?

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.
