After that you can put a filesystem on it if you like

mkfs -t <msdos or ext2> /dev/fd0

Configuration=>Boot and Init=>DrakFloppy makes a boot disk which is 
formatted and then filled with a boot image, and it can be erased and 
re-used easily.

But...  there is a bug in Konqueror trhat will freeze things when 
dragging files to floppy, so use any other graphical file management 
tool like nautilus or gmc or similar to perform that or use the command 
line cp.
