Search the forums for "Boot Floppy"... it shouldn't be all that hard to find. Most people who actually install DSL need a boot floppy.

The 0.8.0 bootfloppy will work with DSL 0.9.1..but I think in the download dir you can find the latest one thereBrian

2 partitions then to boot from the sdl cd
and this the step that i can't do cause my laptop is not cd bootable

sbm.bin. this floppy image is the best, forget boot floppies, this is much faster, and you only need one if you want to boot from any CD. It can be found on most debian install CD's or maybe google for it. Use dd or rawrite to stick on a floppy
