Hi David.

Just take a floppy disk which was formatted in Windows (it means that 
it has FAT as it's file system =) and perform following actions (as 
root):

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
cp /(whatever dir)/FREEBIE /mnt
umount /mnt

Now you have it on ur floppy

Try reading manual page on sb driver... (man sb). It says that you MUST 
add the line 'device snd0' in ur FREEBIE file to get sb driver work for 
you =).
