Full Discussion: Trouble with sysv floppy images created under Linux
Operating Systems SCO Trouble with sysv floppy images created under Linux Post 302978067 by Neelix on Tuesday 26th of July 2016 01:50:37 AM
Old 07-26-2016
Hello,

First, I created a 1.44mb ms-dos image using mkfs.msdos, mounted it under Ubuntu and copied the contain of a TGZ file I downloaded on the net. The contain was poorly displayed. Then I tried to format it under Xenix with dosformat, as shown above, with the same issue.

Then I tried to format it under Xenix first, using mkdev fd , mounted it under Ubuntu and tried to copy the TGZ file itself on it. But Ubuntu complained about free space on that peripheral.
