fdformat does a low-level format of your floppy. You still need to add a filesystem. You might want to try superformat from the fdutils package (which adds a FAT file system by default) instead of fdformat. Use cp to copy the files. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
