The floppy uses the msdos fs (I think). I used a utility in kde to format both msdos fs and ext2 fs floppies and only the msdos fs formatted disk was recognised when the drive was mounted. (I was trying to create a boot disk).
I eventually used the command mkbootdisk (this is the one that doesn't work!) I'm 99% sure the hd uses ext2... that is where my knowledge ends I'm afraid. :0) Alan Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > On Tue, 01 Oct 2002 12:04, you wrote: > > > So... whoever was going to pass on their pearls of wisdom tomorrow in > > tidying up my system... can they now bring along a first aid kit and a > > sledge-hammer to persuade my machine to behave itself... > > Just a quick check that the file system is ext2? > > ( got to make sure the correct fs module is on the rescue diskette ) > > -- > Sincerely etc., > Christopher Sawtell
