Bug Description

Binary package hint: dosfstools

Hello,
I found a typo in the mkdosfs man page. The page says -
This is different when usind MO disks.

It should be "using". The typo is in the "-I" section of the man page. I think it affects upstream too. Thanks.

While I'm at it, I'll have a read through the other man pages as well.

I should not have nominated it for Feisty, that was a mistake.

Thanks a lot, Onno!

When the Tribe-3 freeze is over, it should be built and the bug be fixed. Thanks again.
