Ok, I have a few old games on floppy images that I'd like to extract since I don't have a floppy drive on this computer. I tried Googling it, but it gave me a bunch of Windows apps. How can this be done in Linux? I'm guessing it will use the mount command, but I'm not sure what parameters to specify. Suggestions?
 
What do you mean by floppy images, what file extention is it? Ive never seen an image for something thats 1.44MB.
 
Thanks, that got me pointed in the right direction. A quick Google after that helped me find what I was looking for.

In case anyone else is interested, the command I used was:
mount -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop0 /path/to/image.IMA /mnt/temp
