I'm new in linux and just installed and using redhat v7.0. I'm curious to know how to diskcopy or copy a file in a floppy to floppy with one floppy drive?
thank you in advance for any info.

To access the bootdisk open an xterm/rxvt/eterm e.t.c and type the usual dos commands with an "m".Example:
mdir a:
mcopy myfile a:
mdel myfile

To diskcopy, insert source disk into drive
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy.image
Then insert target disk
dd if=/tmp/floppy.image of=/dev/fd0
Finally delete the floppy.image
rm /tmp/floppy.image
