Why don't you just paste the output here?

I don't see any way to help you if you don't provide any detailed information.
An alternative would be to (I've seen some people doing this) retype the information (with typos
)). Another one would be to use an USB stick instead of a floppy (I don't have a floppy drive any more) .
It's up to you.

Glad you got up and running. If you get stuck ever again and need to get details into a file to move them you can redirect output to a file
The > pushes the details out into whatever file you name.Code:ifconfig > my_ifconfig_file.txt
