I'm not trying to be flip here, but these instructions are a little
beyond the "stick in a disk" installation of Windows.  Even a phrase as
simple as "Just create the boot diskette" makes several assumptions
about the skill level of the user.

I think I could do it, although I'm not sure.  The funny thing is that I
have a copy of SuSE 6.4 that I bought the last time I was going to "get
Linux" <grin>.
