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?

Partition table entries are not in disk order
I have a 1GB device from Memorex that shows up as follows. Just us
it as any other file system. You should be able to drag and drop, or
use the CLI to mkdir, rm, etc. It is a VFAT partition and the system
will know how to handle it.
