Booting Live-CD on a really old PC...

[Gorgut]

Hey all.  My dads work is in the process of replacing alot of the companys pc's.  Many of which still work but are just very old and not comatible with alot of the software required.  I am currently in school for computer network systems and information security systems and would benifit greatly from practacing with many diffrent cliant server situations.  I could really use the Linux practace also.  I have asked my dad to bring home as many of the computers as possible so that I can play with them creating many diffrent network situations and whatnot, as well as getting alot of troubleshooting practace.  The problem I have ran into is that he brought home a coupple of really old Pentum based notebooks.  One of them still runs Windows 95 just fine but a coupple of them are in desperate need of a fresh OS install.  The problem I am having is that I don't really have any use for any more Windows based PCs (which have floopy boot disks), especialy another Windows 95 machine.  I would like to install Damn Small Linux, Kinoppix or PC Linux OS on the Pentium 133 notebook with 80meg of ram and a 2 gig hard drive but the PC is not capable of booting from the CD drive first.  I can only choose the floppy drive or the hard drive and cannot find a floopy boot disk for any of the Linux OS that I want.  Since the installation CDs are designed to run as a LiveCD I cannot get the PC to run them.

Thanks,
Gorgut

any options for a network boot?

Thanks for the reply, I finally got the problem solved.  I was able to find a floppy disk image that will allow any pc to boot from linux cd.

Thanks again,
