Hi,
   If it's a msdos formated floppy, just do:

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

(assuming the directory /mnt exists and is empty, you could also do:
mkdir /floppy
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy

then you can copy the file, gzip -d it and continue.. you need to umount
/mnt or umount /floppy when you are done.

nm
