But then again Well, I intend to do an update-menu thing that calls 'fburn --gui', which makes for a somewhat friendly interface from a window manager menu or icon. Also it doesn't just blast out the image and hope it's okay; unless you specify otherwise, the script will verify (using cmp) that the image can be read back and, if not, will reformat the floppy and try again (exactly once). I did this after far too many bad floppies (a combination of flaky drives and the fact that floppy quality is absolutely horrible these days). > I suggest you submit the script to the fdutils package.
