Name¶
setfdprm - sets user-provided floppy disk parametersNote¶
This manpage has been automatically generated from fdutils's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some items, such as cross-references, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage format. Moreover, only the items specific to each command have been translated, and the general information about fdutils has been dropped in the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc.- *
- To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the
following commands:

- To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info
mode), run:
./configure; make info
