The Format USB app does not recognize my SD card in /media/Dan/MICRO SD (/dev/mmcblk1p1). So I am going to (sigh) have to use the Terminal. Oh, well. I should probably become comfortable with Terminal commands sooner or later.

What is the command to format it as FAT32?

download a PDF to the SD card, remove it, insert it into my tablet and read the PDF offline.
best option for this SD card?


What the tablet will read...

But if you have a choice, I'd go with what @m_pav said and use an exFAT, as pretty much anything should be able to read it.

I'm using MX on an old ASUS mini-laptop.It has a slot for a SD card. I have a spare SD card so I thought I would stick it in there and just leave it to store files. Also, I could download a PDF to the SD card, remove it, insert it into my tablet and read the PDF offline.

I'm using MX Linux 23.5 on an old ASUS 2-in-1 with a detachable screen. I've only used it with the physical keyboard attached, but today I detached it and wanted to use the screen as a tablet. However when I put the cursor in a field, no virtual keyboard pops. So either I need to somehow activate a ...

My genuine thanks all who have responded. I am going to mark this thread SOLVED, although it's not exactly solved in the sense that I can now boot to a live USB drive. But it's solved for me since I don't have the time or energy to pursue it any further. I've attempted every possible solution ...

Maybe tell us what's on the CD or USB you try to boot, and how the media was created.
