I believe "fdformat" has been superseded in hamm by "superformat" and "mformat". "locate format" : /usr/bin/mformat /usr/bin/superformat /usr/bin/xdfformat /usr/man/man1/mformat.1.gz /usr/man/man1/superformat.1.gz "whatis superformat mformat" superformat (1) - format floppies TQ mformat (1) - add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level formatted floppy disk TQ "dpkg -S format" : [ dpkg -S|--search <pattern> ... find package(s) owning file(s) ] fdutils: /usr/bin/superformat mtools: /usr/bin/mformat Install "fdutils" and "mtools". Try "man superformat" and "man mformat" > Another question, is there mkfs.fat or mkfs.vfat > utility? I've found only mkfs.ext, minix and ext2 I don't know. I found "/var/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt" by doing a "locate vfat" on my hamm system. This file has information about vfat including a reference to "http://www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/vfat.html" -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jack Kern Yarmouth, Nova Scotia Debian GNU/Linux
