Someone asked me a question I was not able to answer properly.
They have a server with disk problems, and could only boot up
again by using the bootup floppy.  They wanted to know how to
make a duplicate of that floppy, as a backup.

I could not think of an easy way, in Linux, to do a win-like
    "copy a: b:"

I suggested copying to a directory, and then back to a new
floppy, formatted for Linux.
Is is possible to do something like "dd < /dev/fd0  > /dev/fd1"
with only one floppy drive ?

I usually copy the required files from /boot that I need.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks... Dan.
