When you try to launch fdformat on Debian, you get a message saying it is obsoleted and that superformat should be used. I think that message was already there in Slink. To answer the previous question, is it normal that the device /dev/fd0u720 is used ? You really have that drive ? -- Thibaut Cousin email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr
