Introduction
In this lab, we will explore the Linux mtools
command, which is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from Unix without mounting them. We will start by installing the mtools
package on Ubuntu 22.04, then delve into the various commands and options available within mtools
. Finally, we will learn how to manage floppy disk images using mtools
.
The mtools
package needs to be installed on the system before it can be used. This lab provides step-by-step instructions on how to install the package and then demonstrates the practical usage of mtools
commands for file and directory operations on MS-DOS disks.
