Note of warning

Description

       The minfo command prints the parameters of  a  MS-DOS  file  system,  such  as  number  of
       sectors, heads and cylinders.  It also prints an mformat command line which can be used to
       create a similar MS-DOS file system on another media.  However, this doesn't work with  2m
       or XDF media, and with MS-DOS 1.0 file systems
       minfo drive:

       Minfo supports the following option:

       v      Prints a hexdump of the boot sector, in addition to the other information

Viewing the texi doc

       This  manpage  has  been  automatically  generated  from  mtools's  texinfo documentation.
       However, this process is only approximative, and  some  items,  such  as  crossreferences,
       footnotes  and  indices are lost in this translation process.  Indeed, these items have no
       appropriate representation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all information has  been
       translated  into  the  manpage  version.   Thus  I strongly advise you to use the original
       texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

                     ./configure; make info

       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in  the  info  version
       certain examples are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
