Hey guys, im brand new here, so hopefully im not being too lazy by asking :P But i am trying to write an .img file to a floppy. What command would i use to do that?
Thats what i get........and nothing else happens...the drive light comes on, but nothing else appears to happen?
Edit: When i go to the /mnt/floppy dir, it seems to copy fhe files over at that time? Coz the light came on and the drive appeared to be writing to the disk when i opened that dir. Is that normal?
Heh, well i know that But what i was wondering (maybe i wasnt patient enough?) is why the operation didnt seem to take place until i decided to open the nautilus window and navigate to the /mnt/floppy dir. Was i just impatient and didnt wait long enough for the write to take place? I gave it a good 10 seconds i thought.
