what are his options?  i realize there's no installation boot floppy
any more with FC.

  he mentioned that he's used an intelligent boot manager from
sourceforge (btmgr) but not in this context.   i can certainly make
the FC3 ISO images available on the net, but how he gets to them is
the mystery.

  thoughts?

Aside from the grub option already mentioned, this floppy can be used to boot from .iso images on vfat/ext partitions:
