I don't really like adding trivial stuff to an already long thread, but...

with Knoppix, you can make floppies to boot from (they're on the cd)
and it will load the kernel and search for the CD in the cd-drives it
finds.

I've had to use it on some Pentium 2 PCs before.

Not saying that you should, just that you can (with any luck).
