Hi,

I have installed lfs-svn-20060416 on my Compaq laptop having P-III processor.

1. I am not able to copy files on to /dev/fd0. I tried both the following ways:

cat xvy.abc > /dev/fd0
OR
dd if=xyz.abc of=/dev/fd0

But both the above commands give the error 'Permission denied'.

I was not sure if one has to mount /dev/fd0 before writing to it. So, i tried both ways and the error is the same. Any answers please?

2. Although there are apps in kde and gnome to format floppies, but is there a way to format them from the commandline?

Thanks & Regards,

Randhir Phagura
