Press F1 for info about fdisk 100% etc
In /stand/sysinstall and in the fdisk screen I got the above error.
Pressing F1 does not explain this error message, and there is no thread to

Greetings,
Can someone please explain this warning I am getting, before I continue:
Disk Slicing Warning: Max one 'fat' allowed as child of 'whole'
During the creation of slices in the FDISK Partition Editor.
Does this mean I cannot create more than on FAT partition, or?
Anything else you need? Thanks for your time,
DK
PS - sysinstall had a very appropriate caveat about how fdisk doesn't
actually format other Subtypes (such as FAT), it only reserves the space
for other tools to do so. Is there an "mtools or mformat" type of tool to
format for msdos or FAT or FAT16 (same thing?) or FAT32? Thanks peeps!
