You could also go like this (if your floppy drive does not work, like
mine):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/floppy bs=1024 count=1440
cat eb-5.0.8-via-rhine.lzdsk /tmp/floppy > /tmp/floppy2
dd if=/dev/floppy2 of=boot.img bs=1024 count=1440
rm /tmp/floppy /tmp/floppy2

I'm sure there is another much easier way, but this should work as
well.

Continue like this...
