Why don't you just burn it onto a dvd. Just download the linux iso, then burn it onto a dvd. Then restart your computer and it should automatically boot from the dvd, if it doensn't just just go to bios and change the booting drive. I found the dvd more convient than the floopy.
stop hoping, start loving.

yesssss.... Ok you just simply get a floppy with the FTP shizzle on as said earlier, and install from net. otherwise try going to google.. and typing linux floppy disk images. that should give you Loads of different distro's including live and bootable.
