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 there

i think that the problem is not the boot foppy

but the steps that i have to do after

cause on FAQ section, it is explained that we have to create
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

so what are the steps thati have to do
