already saw this, and quite a few others on google.. this isn't suitable,
given that it requires you to have dos on the drive, and a few other
issues...
but thanks..
I just checked

Where did it say that you have to have dos on the drive?

hi...
still struggling with this issue..
for those new to the problems, we have a number of systems that only
have
floppies.. we need to be able to install FC3 on the systems. we have the
FC3
iso files on a http/ftp server on the network. our need is to somehow
come
up with a floppy that will allow us to insert the floppy, load any
required
drivers, and allow us to start the Fedora installation process.
kernel is too big to fit on a floppy unfortunately.
If you can boot from a usb key, that will work though.
I suppose it might be possible to build a custom kernel that is small
enough and then build a custom fc3 install set that uses that kernel,
but I don't know if that is possible, or worth the effort.
