Is the floppy formatted as a FAT (i.e. Windows/DOS) disk or is it formatted
as an EXT2 (i.e. Linux filing system) floppy?
If you shove a windows formatter floppy,. Linux will see it, recognise it
and adjust the copy process accordingly. You should be able to boot into
Windows, open up the floppy and see your files.
As for the command, to copy abc123.txt you would
cp abc123.txt /mnt/floppy/
Should work...

Subject: [newbie] Copying Files to Floppy
I'm sure this is a very easy question to answer and
I'm being very brain deaded about it....
How do you copy a file to a floppy drive via terminal?
Is it cp "filename" /mnt/floppy? Everytime I try
this and I do an ls in the /mnt/floppy directory, it
shows up. However when I bring it to a Winblows
machine, I can't see the file.
Help???
