I have dsl installed on my usb flash drive and it works on ccomputers that have the "boot from usb" option in the bios, but in some cases the computer does not have that option. So i would like to make a boot floppy that told that system to boot from the usb flash drive. Is there a way?

thanks

Grab the DSL usb boot floppy image from the website download page and get the rawrite2 or rawrite32 program and use it to write the image out to a floppy disk.
