taking data off the disk

[satchmo]

how do i take .zip files off a floppy and extract them to linux. specifically windmodem drivers?

i am having to dl them at work and transport them home via floppy, since my modem isn't working at home.

mount the floppy if need with "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy"

copy the file some where like your home directory "cp /mnt/floppy/<somefile> /<somelocation/"

cd to where you put the file and if it's installed run unzip.
run "unzip <somefile>"

then umount the floppy "umount /mnt/floppy"

hope this helps
