Here's a question, though. I do I make a file (if it's even possible) of,
say, 3MB (arbitrary size for the sake of this question) so I can use it as
an image. I know how to pull an image from a device.. but what if I want
to make an image on the filesystem before writing it? I already know how
to format an image (I took an msdos 1.44MB image from a floppy and
reformatted it to ext2 while it was on one of my hdisk partitions as a
file) :)
Possible? Ideas? Thanks :)
