Run on updated 8.10 Binary package hint: usb-creator When creating a bootable usb usb-creator accepts, and successfully installs, on a FAT16 formatted device. However (in many situations), a FAT16 formatted device cannot boot and fails out with "error loading operating system" message on startup. In other situations (older BIOS), users may need to use FAT16. Display a warning for FAT16 would allow the user to be informed that they can format to FAT32. A FAT32 formatted device run through usb-creator works correctly in most cases and should be the default when pressing the Format button.
