Ooh, exactly the specs of my Toshiba (P166 MMX/32RAM). But when booting, it turns out mine only runs at 165 MHz, so yours must be faster :-)
I can help a little, not a lot. You need to 'mount' the removable device in Linux. This means you run the mount command with the proper specs, then you will go to a directory on the HD , and find the contents of the removable drive there.
Copy the file to a floppy disk from another system
Put the disk in the notebook
Open a command window
Type "mount /dev/floppy /mnt/floppy" <--from memory
(could be "mount /dev/fd1 /mnt/floppy" or something similar.
Type 'ls /dev' to get a listing of all possible devices, and 'ls /mnt' to see all current mount points. (This would work for a CD you had burned too, "mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom")
Anyway, after you get the floppy mounted, you can go to that directory ("cd /mnt/floppy") and copy the file(s) to somewhere more useful (i.e. "cp * /home/DSL" --this is a command line copy method - cp SOURCE_FILE(s) TARGET_DIR )
Now, what to do with the files once you get them there, don't know, but there are probably web resources to help you there.
