I appologize for the dumb question in advance. I simply need to transfer a file from a diskette to my Linux 7.3 machine. I have been thrown into a situation where I have to learn Linux fast and unfortunately I am starting from the basics.

mount -tType /dev/fd0 /mnt

Where "Type" can be "msdos" "vfat" "ext2" etc

so for exmaple to mount a dos disk:

mount -tmsdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

then on the command line you can do:

cp /directory/* /mnt

or
cp filename.ext /mnt
