: This is a Linux ML and I think the default answer should be a Linux : filesystem. Do all people on the ML read floppies on Windows 95/98/2000 or : NT? What about installing vmware (www.vmware.com) and use M$ together : with Debian. Well, we'd better get rid of fdisk and refuse to use the partition table, too. The real reason FAT filesystems are good for floppies is because it wastes the least space, while providing a decent medium for transferring data. If you really need the features ext2 provides then by all means use mke2fs. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
