You can use any of the file managers to do it. If I remember right,
the floppy will be /media/floppy but I could be wrong. The laptop I
have Fedora installed on does not have a floppy drive.

You can also use the command line, or programs line Midnight
Commander (mc) to copy things from the command line. Under Linux,
there are almost always more then one way to do the same thing.
