Here's how we do it...
fdformat /dev/fd0H1440 This does the initial formatting
badblocks/dev/fd0 -s -v 1440 1 This rechecks for bad blocks file
systems from unices beat up floppies much more than DOS does -- "generic"
floppies that work fine in DOS many times don't pass this test in Linux)
mkfs.ext2 /dev/fd0 This actually creates the file system on the
floppy
Hope this helps..

Okay..stupid question. How do I format a floppy diskette for ext2?
Command-line? Gnome?
Thanks,
