Thanks to you, I was able to find full instructions. I've included them here for anyone who needs to know: How to make a boot floppy with Windows * insert the CDROM, then open the icon "My Computer", right click on the CDROM drive icon and select "Open" * go into the "dosutils" directory and double-click on the "rawwritewin" icon * insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive * select "D:\images\cdrom.img" in the "Image File" field (assuming that your CDROM drive is "D:", otherwise replace "D:" as needed) * select "A:" in the "Floppy Drive" field then click on "Write". To begin the installation: * insert the CDROM in the drive, as well as the boot floppy, then * restart the computer.
