On this floppy disk (fd), we have files such as command.com for
instance.

You *are* joking, I hope? There's no such thing as command.com on any
*nix system.

Try to pay better attention. See above where he says he is talking about
a FreeDOS floppy disk? Do you think *that* might have a file named
command.com on it? Sheesh.
