Transferring .dat file contents as Changes file on new drive
Posted: 03 May 2016, 12:14
Greetings!
I have Porteus 3.1 with a 5gig .dat file installed on a FAT32 8gig flash drive. I wish to reformat the drive to ext4 and so do away with the .dat container file scheme. Is there a way I can extract or transplant the .dat file's contents to the new flash (as a new Changes file?) if I briefly transfer the .dat file to another linux drive for safekeeping during the process?
Thanks for any hints!
