The solution to this problem is not, of course, to start slapping GUI wrappers around newfs_msdos, but to read about newfs_msdos and become acquainted with its options. You don't *have* to be ``un-terminal savy'', whatever that means. Have you tried firing up a terminal, and typing: % man newfs_msdos The manpages are a huge wealth of information, and there are so many tools that have neat command-line options that it would be a terrible waste to miss them all because you didn't check the manpages :)
