Well, others have told you how to use a DOS formatted floppy in Linux,
but you can also format the floppy in ext2:

Insert the floppy and run the following commands:
fdformat /dev/fd0H1440 (Assuming a 1.44 MB High Density floppy).
mke2fs /dev/fd0
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

and voila - you have a Linux formatted floppy!
