9.4. Exercises

  • Make a backup copy of your home directory in /var/tmp using the tar command. Then further compress the file using gzip or bzip2. Make it a clean tarred file, one that doesn't make a mess when unpacking.

  • Format a floppy and put some files from your home directory on it. Switch floppies with another trainee and recover his/her floppy in your home directory.

  • DOS format the floppy. Use the mtools to put and delete files on it.

  • What happens to an unformatted floppy when you want to mount it into the file system?
