Filesystem type isn't really important here, whatever get the job 
done.  Try 'mkdosfs' if you can live with the thought that it's MS 
compatible!  That compatibility just might be useful if you need to use it 
on Windows.  Or you could just use a Windows formatted floppy in any 
case.  Then mount it on Linux using '-t vfat', or even 'auto' and most 
systems will figure out the filesystem type.  Linux doesn't really care 
unless you want to apply Linux type file permissions.

Absolutely, since you presumably already know what to do.

As always, there are many ways to do it. (TM)
