oh im sorry, in my previous post, i thought you wanted to "boot" from
it, i withdraw my previous post.
but you can do all this with out using a floppy! watch, use this
following command to mount the iso...it sure does save time and money
then having to burn and mount a cd :)
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /where/ever/the/iso/is
/where/ever/you/want/the/iso/mounted
