Linux mandrake 7.0 installed in my system. I have succesfully used vi text editor and made some files, how do I transfer them to a floppy and how do I read a floppy off the a: drive while in linux???

bring up a terminal


cd /usr/bin
./vi

or

cd /usr/X11R6/bin
./gvim

To get a file of a floppy do the following if in gvim

Click File -> open
goto /mnt/floppy (more than likely)
and then open the file you want.

To get a file of a floppy do the following in vi

:e /mnt/floppy/"yourfile" and then hit enter.
