[om-general] Formatting USB flash drives?

What would be the easiest way for a non tech savvy OpenMandriva user to 
format USB flash drives in OM Lx 3? I'm asking this in order to, I hope, 
better help such users on our forum.

Do we have a handy GUI utility for this like some Linux distros (and 
Windows) have? I've been using KDE Partition Manager but non tech savvy 
users may find that to be "scary" or otherwise intimidating. It would 
seem handy if ROSA image writer had this ability but it doesn't nor does 
it refer user to an application that can format an unformatted flash 
drive. That seems oddly not customer focused for the ROSA engineers as 
at one time they rather emphasized customer focus (IMHO).

Also I am aware that this is easily done with command line or diskdrake 
as well just wonder what is considered easiest for non-tech-savvy users.
