Floppy Copy?

[Cyberclops]

"~" - I found it, on my little miniature keyboard, it's down by the
space bar on a shifted "`".  I see "floppy.img" in my user home
directory with Konqueror and it shows it to be 1.4 MB in size, which
makes sense.  I presume that each time you make a new copy that this
file is replaced by a new image.  What if you wanted to save the images
for future use?  How would you name them?  Would changing the name
adversely affect the output to the newly copied diskette?

Here's an interesting use of "~" with the command: "ls ~"
