Best way would be to put the linux floppy into a machine running linux.

Underneath linux, mount the floppy, and then copy all the stuff from the floppy
into a particular directory on the linux filesystem.

Now put in a regular DOS formatted floppy, mount it into the filesystem, you
may need to specify to the mount command that the type of this filesystem is
-f msdos, then you can copy the file from the directory to the mount point.

After this you can dismount the floppy, and the files will be flushed onto the
disk at that stage. You must remember to dismount the floppy before you remove
it, because if you don't then the files will not be written onto the disk.
