Hola Carlos:
Simplemente quería formatear el disquete para pasar unos ficheros de un PC a
otro. Hasta ahora he utilizado disquetes formateados con DOS, pero pensaba
que ya iba siendo hora de cambiar.
Lo del tar no lo entiendo. Creía que era para comprimir, no para formatear.
He mirado en man

Si, esto es lo que me sugerió Javier Donaire [EMAIL PROTECTED] y
funciona a la perfección. Gracias y saludos. Pep
que el tar no es para formatear! ni para comprimir tampoco!
tar _empaca_ archivos en uno solo (tarfile). luego, como opcional, lo
podes usar con los parámentros -j (bzip2) ó -z (gzip) para comprimir
el archivo. (que sería lo mismo que hacer un .tar y luego comprimirlo
a mano)
del man del tar:

muy complicada (creo que no es el caso), opino que es más fácil de leer de
este modo.

Where in potato are fdformat and setfdprm? They aren't in util-linux.
Does Debian have a cross-reference of programs to the packages that
contain them?
ftformat has been replaced by superformat, which is in
fdutils, along with setfdprm. This is the case for both slink and
potato.

The real reason FAT filesystems are good for floppies is because it
wastes the least space, while providing a decent medium for transferring
data.
But if you're just going to put one tar.gz file on it, do you need a
filesystem at all?

That is exactly why I use the minix filesystem. Maybe that's the

The best thing to do is to use the minix filesystem. This will use less
space than ext2, while while allowing you to use unix style permissions and
owners.
