[ Second try: for the first mail I had accidentally chosen the wrong From address, so the first mail will probably not get behind the fdutil-lists's spam filter. I apologise for the inconvenience. ] Hello, I got a bug report for the Debian fdutils package, which claims that superformat does not work for USB floppy drives. You may find the full report at http://bugs.debian.org/79362 I seems that the USB floppy driver makes the floppy look like a SCSI hard disk. So superformat's check whether it is talking to a floppy drive naturally fails. I have no idea what should be done here. Any suggestions? Jochen PS.: If you answer to this mail, the Debian bug tracking system would be glad to receive a copy (via Cc:) at 79362-forwarded(a)bugs.debian.org. PPS.: Alain, are you alive? I got no answers from you for my last ten or so emails. I hope everything is ok. -- http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~wwwstoch/voss/
