Thumbs up Diskcopy
Kudos to MrPotatoHead over at www.usalug.org for finding somthing for me that I have been looking around for for quite awhile.
I always wondered why there wasnt an interactive utility for copying floppy disks in linux similiar to the one in windows.Well what do you know
floppytools package fit the bill nicely.There's also a utility(there shell scripts actually) included that creates a floppy backup of the /etc directory.
Hope sombody finds this as useful as I did.These tools are all using the dd command so they are perfect copies.
