HOW TO TRANSFER FILE
1. Boot DSL and launch Emelfm.
2. Insert the floppy disk into the floppy drive
3. Emelfm have two windows. On any from the two windows, browser inside /mnt folder (/mnt it is on top-level). Where you must find a directory, frequently is the /hda1 folder (but can be different, for example hda2, hda3...hdaN).
If hda1, select hda1 folder and click on rightbutton, and click on "mount". So /mnt/hda1 folder literally became the Windows partition present on you hard disk and you can browser it, read it and write it from DSL.
Therefore after do "mount" you can browser to Windows directory where you want to copy the README file. Next, pass to 4 step.
4. On the other window of Emelfm, select /floppy folder (/floppy it is on top-level) and click on rightbutton, and click "mount". So /floppy folder literally became the floppy disk present into the floppy drive and you will can browser it, read it and write it from DSL. Therefore, browser inside /floppy and select the README file.
One time there, click button COPY (The button it is between the two windows on Emelfm). So the README file is transfered from /floppy folder to /mnt/hda1 folder. That is equivalent to say, what the file README is transfered from floppy disk to hard disk.
NOTE: If you do not understand the mount concept, read:

Remember that i want to know how is labeled the drive from which you boot DSL for testing. Is sda1, sda2...or sdb1 sdb2..?
