Go to any Slackware 3.5 mirror site (find one via Google if you need to) and look at the Manifest.gz file in the Slakware [sic] directory. You'll find all the packages listed with their contents. In your case, you probably want one of these:Hi, folks --After installing BasicLinux, I discovered that I needed to add fdformat to format ext2 on high density 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure where to look for this on the Slackware 3.5 site (which is what I need for BasicLinux 1.7). I would greatly appreciate anyone pointing me to the ftp address where I can download the tar file for fdformat and use pkg to install it.
fdformat, contained in ./a11/util.tgz
superformat, contained in ./a1/aaa_base.tgz
In modern distros, I believe that superformat has superseded fdformat for formatting both regular and high-density floppies.
