    Hi folks,

    Thanks for the responses.

    Those double d commands are marvellous; simple and yet effective. It even
    produces a positive side-effect; a backup copy of the floppy image in the
    harddisk. I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem; I read through
    'dd' with 'man' but is left with the impression that it is only for files
    copying. Which part indicates that it can do image copy?

    More about the BIOS. In DOS machine, hardware diagnostics and initialization
    is done by the BIOS. For instance, if the keyboard or mouse is not plugged
    in, the diagnostic will detect this and the system will not proceed beyond
    this point until the error is corrected. If a user wants a set-up without
    keyboard or mouse, he will have to twig the BIOS. Without source code, and
    means to recompile, this is impossible. How does a Linux user overcome this
    problem? Kernel re-configuration?

    Cheers
