interesting experiment.

hi.
I just tryed to use dd to see if in fact it would copy my jfw
authorization disk and, as expected, it wouldn't.
here's my output from dd to aid some poor unfortunate that still may want
to persue this activity.
captain-nemo at borg:~$ dd if=/dev/fd0 of=auth.img
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2870
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2874
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2876
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2878
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 2870
dd: /dev/fd0: Input/output error
2864+0 records in
