Package: wipe Version: 0.21-2 The man page says to use 'wipe -Kq -l 1440k /dev/fd0'. The 'K' here should be 'k'. I've reported this to the upstream maintainer.
(incidentally, I don't know if this is my misunderstanding or not but when I tried the above with a 'k', 'wipe -kq -l 1440k /dev/fd/0', I got the response 'error: character 'k' is illegal in length description "k"') Pete Boyd
