Is it possible to create a Linux file system on a floppy? I would like
to be able to retain the file naming flexibility when I archive to a floppy
so that questions.how-to doesn't have to become QUESTHOW.TWO.
I tried adding an entry to /etc/fstab for a linux file system, but that
didn't work. I then attempted to fdisk the floppy (can you do this?) but
it said I had to 'set heads sectors and cylinders via the extra functions
menu. I couldn't find a HOWTO that referenced this subject. I have no
idea how to proceed from here. Help would be appreciated.
