Most Linux distributions ("distros" in Linux-speak) have images of boot
floppies on the CD. To extract these, you boot your machine to DOS and run
a small DOS utility called rawrite.exe (or rawrite2.exe if the first one
doesn't work). Rawrite will ask you what image you want to extract and
write it to a floppy for you. Rawrite is also included on the distros I
have looked at.
