    Yes you can because you can get Linux to read Dos partitions. Or you can zip the file across several floppies and then mount the floppy drive in lunix.
    I can't remember the command line for doing this but no doubt someone on this forum knows how to do this.
    Chief Lemon Buyer no more Linux sucks but not as much
    Weather nut and sad git.

      Yup - you can save it to C:\Temp for example, and then in Linux, you mount the C: partition which is typically /dev/hda1 and then access the Temp directory on it.

      e.g.
      mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
      cd /mnt/Temp

      You system may already have the C: drive mounted - YMMV
