You can pretty much format it any way you want. fdisk /media/disk, then p,
will tell you what it thinks it is; change the type with a t if you want
something different. Partition it as you like - it's just a storage
medium.

My USB key that I have set up to install CentOS from has a 10M DOS
partition, and the rest of the 8G is ext3 (or did I make it ext2 - I
forget).
