Re: floppy

Hi Dave

The mtools package is included in the BDI, but not installed by default. For 
just copying files to floppy to transfer to another machine, the cp command 
will suffice. Virtually all floppy disks come preformatted as DOS floppies 
anyway.

I would suggest Gene uses the following steps :-

mount /mnt/floppy
cp /usr/local/emc/emc.ini /mnt/floppy/emc.ini
umount /mnt/floppy

If this is on a BDI install, the mount and umount commands can be skipped as 
the kernel automatically mounts/unmounts removable media.

Regards, Paul.
