Hi Danny, I use the following lines in a script to format an MS-DOG diskette (FreeBSD V3.3) [start of file] fdformat /dev/rfd0 disklabel -w -r /dev/rfd0 fd1440 newfs_msdos -f 1440 fd0 [end of file] After that, I can either "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt" and then 'cp' the file(s) across, or (much easier) use "mcopy <filename> a:". Mcopy is one of the 'mtools' mentioned by Dan. hth, H To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
