'dd if=/dev/fd0 of=temp, and then 'dd if=temp of=/dev/fd0'. You can tweak things like the block size but I've never had difficulty copying floppies using the defaults. Also, if you use dd to copy a disk it doesn't matter what filesystem it is because it makes an exact copy.
Hello, I need to DiskCopy my SuSE 6.2 Bootdisk. Got a command for this?
I'm looking at 'dd' but the "Linux in a nutshell" does not give an example nor does the man. SuSE manual seems silent on DiskCopy. And what format does the new diskette need. minix or ext2fs?
