Re Looking for more Debian packages

[Jianan Huang]

Hi folks,

Thanks for the responses.

Those double d commands are marvellous; simple and yet effective. It even 
produces a positive side-effect; a backup copy of the floppy image in the 
harddisk. I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem; I read through 
'dd' with 'man' but is left with the impression that it is only for files 
copying. Which part indicates that it can do image copy?

More about the BIOS. In DOS machine, hardware diagnostics and initialization 
is done by the BIOS. For instance, if the keyboard or mouse is not plugged 
in, the diagnostic will detect this and the system will not proceed beyond 
this point until the error is corrected. If a user wants a set-up without 
keyboard or mouse, he will have to twig the BIOS. Without source code, and 
means to recompile, this is impossible. How does a Linux user overcome this 
problem? Kernel re-configuration?

Cheers
