[SuSE Linux] copying text from terminal output

Is there a way to copy text from a terminal screen into a file? I've got what appears to be a corrupted SuSE 5.3 boot disk, and I want to capture the text that displays when I try to mount it so that I can send to SuSE support. I've tried redirecting the output in various ways (note, these may not be entirely correct, as I'm pretty new to Linux): mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy > err mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 2> err mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy >& err
