Re: [PLUG] "Current" Linux on old laptop
|
Most distros have floppy images included under some directory on the
install cd. Example: Ubuntu Breezy has install/sbm.bin, which, as the
README.sbm says, is a floppy boot image. Slackware has them for sure,
also Debian has them for sure. Don't know about RH, but I'd bet that you
can find them on there too. You just have to hunt around in likely
places on the disk.
