To read DOS floppies on a RH system, you can either use mtools
(in the mtools rpm, man mtools for details) or you can mount the
floppy as a DOS filesystem with "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0H1440 /mnt/floppy".
If you just want to transfer a few files between systems, mtools is
probably easier. Just "mcopy myfile a:". If you want to do this as
a user other than root, you can give access to the floppy device by
making the user a member of the floppy group ("gpasswd -a username floopy").
