What would be the difference between a 10 sector per track DOS file system floppy and an ext2 fs floppy? I don't mean from a file system standpoint, I know the differences, but from a hardware standpoint, what is it about ext2 that makes it harder to use higher-capacity format disks? Or does superformat simply make a DOS image? You still could make a bigger disk with 'fdformat' and go that route, right? It's been some time since I really used floppies much, so I'm just not understanding this point. I trink 1.6 meg would work but the media could not be all that reliable. I do recall the problems when I first started using Linux - I used to tell people that they had better use known good and reliable disks for the boot/root combos as those were native linux and back then if you had floppies with bad sectors, you were essentially out of luck. > Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
