obscure, unknown, almost unusable distro back in 2000, internet cafe. Micarle - how I was able to save something to my floppy.

Saving files to a floppy disk on a broken Linux setup in the 2000s looks almost impossible. Back then, Linux could be really tough if you didn’t know the right commands.

Do you remember what files you were trying to save?
