Linux to Windows

[Guest]

Hi,

How do I get gifs or jpegs from Red Hat Linux to Windows
2000 by floppy preferably?
I seem to keep getting 'catch 22' as I cant format the
disk on either OS as it will not be recognised by the
other.
Can't network either as the Linux machine has no NIC.

Any ideas would be grateful.

Linux will recognize floppies formated in Windows. If it isn't check
that your floppy drive is ok.

As root user, open a shell and type the following at the linux command line:

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

After that, you should be able to 'cd floppy' or 'cd /mnt/floppy' to get to
the floppy. To copy the images, just 'cd' over to the directory with the
images and 'cp * /mnt/floppy' or 'cp <image_filename> /mnt/floppy'.

I'm sure I missed something, but that should get you on your way, assuming
RedHat supports vfat, which it should.

RH supports VFAT ok, and a common installation will already have a
Floppy disc link on the desktop. They shouldn't have to manually mount
the disc from the shell.
