Install boot floppy for FC2?

Anyone know if anyone has made a installation boot floppy for the CD's for Fedora Core 2 yet?

Im sure making one wouldn't be a huge effort for someone who knows what their doing. Would really be appreciated by us semi-noobs still clinging to our Pentium 166's =P

Anyway, if anyone has seen one, I would appreciate its location

Well the image size for FC2 is so large that it won't fit into a boot floppy. that's why there are none.

Fedora Core 2 doesn't include a floppy boot image because the required files no longer will fit on a floppy.
