There should have been instruction on the site as to how to create a
flash disk.

Save the exe to the desktop and run it...it will walk you through the rest
about disk in the A drive. When it is done, you just boot with it in the
drive, make sure you have it set to boot from floppy first.

You will only run into problems, if you have a power failure, or you shut
it off for some reason. The bios will be toast, but you can buy a new one.
