tar, cp, dd, etc. then swap floppes and copy the files back. I ca

1) insert the disk
2) # dd if=/dev/fd0 of=tempfile
3) insert the second disk
4) # dd if=tempfile of=/dev/fd0

(insert source disk)
mount /dev/fd0
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=somefile

dd is probably the best choice. For a first try, just
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img
dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/fd0
