should give you a clue as to what I am reading. It has a lot of nice
stuff in it. It certainly is written for Linux dummies like me.

Ok. Transferring the files can be done a lot of different ways,
depending on your system. You can put the files on a floppy, you can
use a USB "pen" drive, burn them to a CD, etc.
If this is a dual boot machine, then your Windows partition may be
mounted on at /mnt/windows. If it is, you can access the files
directly.
Now, to do the actual copy, you can use the "cp" command. Another
nice tool is a program called Midnight Commander. (You start it with
the "mc" command.) If you have ever used Norton Commander, you will
feel right at home using it.
