Don't Jump
Just mount and umount your floppies one after another and copy the RPM =
files to say /tmp
you do that like this
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (make sure you've floppy in =
your /mnt directory)
cd /mnt/floppy
cp * /tmp
umount /mnt/floppy
and do the same for all the floppies.
I've used this method before and it works. I hope it works for you!
