I've never done this. Use mtools instead: it's in the packages on the CD-ROM. Then do: $ mcopy /tmp/foo a: The commands that mtools understands are mattrib, mbadblocks, mcd, mcopy, mdel, mdeltree, mdir, mdu mformat, minfo, mlabel, mmd, mmount, mpartition, mrd, mread mmove, mren, mshowfat, mtoolstest, mtype, mwrite, mzip, which correspond to the DOS names without the inital m (e.g. the DOS COPY comamand becomes mcopy). See the man page for mtools for further information. If you have difficulty installing mtools, you can try this: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0a /mnt # copy /tmp/foo /mnt # umount /mnt Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
