The instructions say to format the SD card with FAT the one I bought came pre-formatted as VFAT which I believe is just an extension of FAT is this OK or should I load up GParted and format it again?

EDIT:
Actually on closer analysis with GParted it is actually FAT32. blkid was calling it VFAT but maybe it calls all the FAT VFAT?
