I got an old Toshiba 410CDT and would like to install DSL on it. Went to the BIOS and found that I cannot boot from the CD. The laptop can boot from a floppy and has a cd rom. So I think the logical way to try out the DSL is to boot from the floppy and run the DSL from the cd.

My Question: where can I find the doc related to this type of intallation. Thanks   :p

The boot floppy image is posted < here >
Use rawwrite to write the image to a floppy. See wiki for more help on how to use rawrite.
