jonathan, there are a lot gui tools that do what can be done at command line, and they make life easier. but, what do you do when you are using a system that does not have a gui tool that you are used to using? you sit with a lost look on your face because you can not do what ever it is that you have done with gui. same can happen when doing diskette copies. for a quick and easy coping of diskettes; to copy from diskette, dd bs=5120 </dev/fd0 >/tmp/out.file or dd if=/dev/fd0 ibs=5120 of=/tmp/out.file obs=5120 to copy to diskette, dd bs=5120 </tmp/out.file >/dev/fd0 or dd if=/tmp/out.file ibs=5120 of=/dev/fd0 obs=5120 using if= and of= will make copies a little faster. dd is found on most all linux/unix systems. a gui has to installed. hth. tc,hago. g . -- think green... save a tree, save a life, save time, save bandwidth, save storage. send email, text/plain - disable pgp/gpg/geek code =+= if you are proud to be an american, then buy "made in america".
