I cannot find a suitable application to format a USB stick.
How do I go about doing this with antiX?
Thanks for the help

You have to run in a root window and unmount it before you can format it

This works. I was able to format the USB stick.
I am very new to linux and antiX and appreciate the help with these very elementary issues.
Thanks
