It took a little doing, but I did manage to mount the floppy, and CDROM too, and was able to do a cp to get what I needed transfered. from Keith H. --- You Wrote --- You have two choices about text files on floppies: 1.) Copy them into a directory on your hard drive using mcopy. Do mcopy to learn about mtools commands. 2.) Mount the floppy and read them directly. This would be a command something like: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy PS: You should probably also learn about unix2dos and dos2unix. Again, the man page for these commands will help.
