Format a New USB Thumb Drive

Question

I have a new USB thumb drive I just picked up and I was able to mount in to my Linux machine fine:
dmesg | grep -i "OCZ"
scsi 10:0:0:1: Direct-Access OCZ SD0StorageDevice 0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] 15794176 512-byte logical blocks: (8.08 GB/7.53 GiB)
It mounts fine on my system:
[carlos@tuna ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sdd usb/
Password:
[carlos@tuna ~]$ cd usb/
[carlos@tuna usb]$ ls -l
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16384 Mar 30 10:12 cisco
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Apr 19 08:50 files
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Apr 23 15:46 mail
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 16384 Apr 23 15:49 pics
Now I would like to wipe and reformat the entire drive since I backed up the data. However before I reformat the drive, how can I set the label name into the format command while formatting as fat32? I don't need to use FDISK since I am not changing anything in regards to the partition table / chunk size. I just want to format as fat32 however I don't have mkfs.msdos or mkfs.fat32 on my Arch Linux system. I checked the Wiki and didn't find anything nor did any search thread results.
Anyone know what package I need to format fat32 & how I can set a label name so when it's mounted, I can see a specific name for the drive?

me spots some inconsistencies.  i'd bet if you used gparted instead, it'd warn you and say something like "create DOS Partition table first" or somesuch.
i dunno, this is the one area i like the wipe-my-ass-for-me bloat , could be worth a try.
