Well you would need to mount the floppy first.
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
or use /mnt whatever you want can be used here
BUT the directory must be there.
Copy the files as;
cp -p /mnt/xsis.rpm /usr/local/src
cp -p /mnt/xsuseconfig.tgz /usr/local/src
umount /dev/fd0
if the need arise crate a new directory and unpack the "tgz" file with'
tar xvzf xsuseconfig.tgz
Read the documantaion and you should see HOWTO install the files properly.
Or read them first with 'zless' that will also show you if a new directory
will be created by the archive, you can see that on the first page zless
shows from the archive, in the top lefthand corner, if there is a slash at
the end of the name then a new directory will be created.
The other file is an rpm file that can be installed with;
rpm -i xsis.rpm
Now i have no futher comment on rpm's as i dont use them.
I hope this answers your question(s).
