How can i put the floppy-usb boot onto a CD.  

My laptop boots from cd and USB-Floppy but not USB-zip or USB-HDD.  I would rather carry around a small CD than a floppy disk and external floppy drive.

Any Sugestions?  I didn't really see it any where in the forum.

You will want to replace the file minirt24.gz from the bootfloppy-usb to your pendrive. That minirt24.gz is optimized to boot usb devices whereas the general one must try to handle a much wider array of possible boot devices and in a partcular order.
