Welllllllllllllll use "kfloppy to format the diskette as a DOS disk" or just
use Windoze to format one.....copy your file to it then use "mtools" to
read/copy the dos file to your Linux partition. OR you could just simply
mount (preferred option) your Win98 partition so Linux can see it and copy
straight from there. As for the doc format........depends on if it is .doc,
.txt, or rtf which app will be able to read the file. For adding users in
KDE.......use the "Login" feature in the KDE Control Center.
