Copying a file from a floppy (diff formats)?
I'm installing debian on my laptop. The laptop uses a winmodem.
Downloaded the driver for it on my Windows box... XP (NTFS); ... The
file that I downloaded is a linux compressed file.... extension is
.gz. The exact file name is pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-3.tar. This is
interesting because in windows it shows as .tar, but I was able to "see"
it in debian which showed it as .gz.
Since I can see the file in debian, I should be able to extract and
install.... right? How do I get the file from the floppy disk to the
hard drive on my debian box?
