In which way does ufdformat(1) differs from fdformat(1) ? I mean I feel quite counter-intuitive to have two differents commands to finally achieve the same thing, formatting floppies, even if they don't work on the same underlying bus. I think this difference should be made transparent to users. Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen jeremie@le-hen.org
