I have a few really basic questions that I have not been able to find the answers for.

OK, some quick hints:

1. How do I format an ext2 floppy disk?

mke2fs /dev/fd0

2. How do I mount it?

mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy (if /floppy exists and A: is a 1.44 MB drive)

3. How do I get a dir of it?

ls /floppy (after mounting it.)

4. How do I find the free space on it?

mount it and try "df".
