I can't use the ISO image because my link is too slow to download it
and I don't have a CD burner.

I could probably try to netboot it if somebody gave me step-by-step
instructions.  I've never netbooted anything before.

A question: if the floppy had read errors, would they be detected
and reported?  I.e., is it worthwhile to try a different diskette?
