he bought the setup CD-ROM's, and I would like to stop using someone

I am using one of the FTP site folders and am having some difficulty. 
Right now I am trying to copy the kern.flp or kern-small.flp
file on to a floppy disk (trying to create a boot disk, but I really 
don't know if this will work. Could you possibly send me a
brief description of how to set this up on my old dell latitude? Could I 
create some sort of boot disk? I would greatly appreciate your
response.
