- Dell provides you (us, actually :-), with access to the raw device -- only.
- Kinda dumb if you ask me, but then then again, you didn't.
-
- Roe Peterson has written ctools, with a README, part of which reads:
-
- "There is only one binary in the package; if invoked as `ccopy', it
- attempts to copy one or more files to the target output file or
- directory. Invoked by any other name (ie: cdir), it displays
- directories. The makefile will create the necessary link from
- cdir to ccopy for you."
-
- Judging by his excellent job on both sas and cslip, I'd venture a
- guess that ctools works as advertised.

- Have a look in: udevdiv.Unibase.SK.CA:sources/ctools.tar.Z
