Newbie needs help with installing linux
 
Ok, I'm fairly new to Linux and need some help on how to install RedHat 9.0 Linux on a box with only a HD and a floppy drive. I have no way of installing a CDROM on this box except as a USB device (which is what I'm trying to install from).

My problem is that the box I'm installing on, does not support booting from USB. How can I boot from a floppy disk to install from a USB floppy.

Thanks for your help.

There should be some DOS utilities on the disk (under something like "dosutils"). You can use them to write a boot floppy while in Win.
