If the disk just contains files,
cp the files to a hard disk
insert other floppy
cp files from hard disk to floppy

If the disk is bootable, something like (not tested):
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/file
insert other floppy
dd if=/tmp/file of=/dev/fd0

You may also need to add bs=1440k to the dd lines.

HTH,
Dave
