User Feedback :: Why dsl not permit mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0 ?

I have write mkfs.msdos /dev/fd0 as root to formatting floppy disk to use with a freedos pc.
If i write mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy,the error is the same.
The error message is "msdos command not found".
Why dsl permit only mkfs.ext2 /dev/fd0 ?
Puppy linux not have this problem...

Try mkdosfs and fdformat.

There is also a gui available for working with floppies

Place floppy diskette in drive then

1. Click DSLpanel icon.
2. Press Floppy Tool button
3. Press Format button

FreeDOS does read it!
