My wife's father recently brought us another PC - a Sony VIAO. We
decided that it would be my wife's computer because I'm always using our
HP. We took it to the shop last Friday to get the hard drive and RAM
upgraded and then got it back today. My wife wanted me to install
Gentoo on it, but this is proving difficult for me. The problem is
this: The computer is so old that even though the BIOS is set to boot
from CD before attempting to boot from the hard drive, CD booting
doesn't work. The only way to install Gentoo that I know of is by
booting up the LiveCD. I need a 3.5" floppy disk alternative. Is there
a way to make a 3.5" floppy disk that would allow me to boot the
computer and then mount my Gentoo CD and continue from there?
