Hi

First mount the linux floppy and copy all the files to a temporary
directory on your hard disk.

Second unmount the linux floppy and insert an MS-DOS formatted floppy.
Mount the msdos floppy by typeing
  mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /some_mount_point

Third copy the files from your temporary directory to the msdos floppy
