I need to know how to create a bootable floppy disk to install DSL from my partitioned HDD. I have a cd with the ISO on it, but being such a newbie... it only has the ISO on it... it's not extracted yet. So I extracted the files using a program to a separate partition, and I need to create a HD boot floppy, but don't know how! PLEASE HELP A NEWBIE OUT!

Follow the recommended procedure for creating a DSL boot floppy.

download the image file at:

http://ibiblio.org/pub....8.0.img

and get a image writing program like this one:

Choose "ALL Files" and select the DSL boot image.  Then it will immediately be written to the floppy disk that is sitting in your drive.

Good Luck.
