how do i format a flash disk in FAT32

Morisso,

$ mkfs.vfat devicename

You may need to use fdisk to determine the correct devicename. Note that a flash disk can be formatted as a floppy or as a hard drive. The difference is whether or not a partition number is used.

As a floppy:
$ mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX

As a hard drive:
$ mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1

For more information see "man fdisk" and "man mkfs".
