How do I copy files from my Linux machine to a DOS formatted floppy disk so that my Windows machine can read it?
You should format your disk in Windows, then mount it in Linux like this:
Put the floppy in the drive and, as root, type:
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy |
To copy files, use the command:
cp [filename] /mnt/floppy |
To unmount the floppy so you can eject it, type:
umount /mnt/floppy |
