1. Copying files from a floppy disk:
  a) mount the floppy (bad floppy might cause a kernel panic!)
     mkdir /floppy (if it does not yet exists)
	 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0.1440 /floppy
	 Now you can copy the files as usual (cp).
	 
	 You can also put the following line into your /etc/fstab and use
	 mount /floppy to mount your floppy
	 
	/dev/fd0.1440 /floppy msdos rw,noauto,nosuid 0 0

  b) use the mtools port: ports/emulators/mtools
	 Be sure you have this line in your /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf
	 drive a: file="/dev/fd0"
	 
	 Now you can use mdir, mcopy, etc. just like on MSDOS
	 
2. Extracting rar archives: Use the ports/archivers/unrar port

Cheers,
 Simon
