Lines: 13 How does one go about formatting a floppy disk to have a UNIX file system on it? I assume you must use newfs, but this will only do a high level format of the disk, and it would have to be disklabelled. What if the disk has _not_ been formatted with and MSDOS format program? +------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | Kendall Bennett, | Internet: | | Advanced Computer Graphics Centre, | kjb@godzilla.cgl.citri.edu.au | | Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, | rcskb@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au | | Victoria, AUSTRALIA. | | +------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | CoSysop (Bossman), PC Connection Australia: +61 3 688 0909 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
