I got such great help on my last question, so I'll ask another:
I'm trying to find the best way to transfer files to my BL3-box. Here are my
ideas-
1) Floppy disks (a suprising 80% of my floppies seem to be corrupt)
2) CD-Rom (when mounting I get a driver not found error)
3) Use the other version of Linux I have to access the CD-Rom (however,
neither Linux distribution can mount the other)
4) Download directly onto the computer

I'd rather not resort to 1 & 4...
In order to get the second idea, I need a driver, which I don't know where to
find or what it would be called (I tried slackware...)
In order to get the third idea, I made an extra partition, but I need to
format it for msdos/vfat (BL3 can mount those I think). I can't find mkdosfs
for BL3 though.

What do y'all think?
Thanks,
Lazarith
