You have installed the debian base system yet, don't you? If so, you can access
DOS-formatted floppies by "mounting" them into your file system.
Walk this way:
1) Log in as user "root"
2) Read the man page for mount with "man mount"
3) Type the command:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
^ this should be your floppy device
4) then change dir to /mnt with
cd /mnt
5) "ls" should give you the listing of your floppy disc.
6) DON`T remove the floppy before you have unmounted it with
umount /mnt
Debian comes with X-Windows. You have to install the package xbase and an
xserver for your card.
