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?
