Question:

Isn't that what you create the LILO floppy disc for?  That boot disk is
supposed to contain CD Rom drivers so you can, boot from the floppy on
an older machine, but then still be able to install Linux from the CD.

Forgive me if I'm off base, I've only installed Linux twice before (with
help), and it's been over three years since I've even looked at a Linux
box...
