Re: mkfs.msdos hda.img not working

So I tried to install this using synaptic. I found that dosfstools was already installed. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I'm still getting the same error... bash: mkfs.msdos: command not found. How can I look at the dosfstools help file to see how the command should be configured?

I read about qemu and how it will allow me to run software that is not normally compatible with the arm architecture. I have followed the instructions I found at https://help.ubuntu.com/co...
