It doesn't come as a single compressed file. The simplest way to do it
is to download the boot.flp file from the floppies directory, use
rawrite.exe to make a boot floppy from it, and reboot with the floppy
in the drive. If you're connected to the Internet at the time, the
installation program will FTP down all the other files it needs.

Download the text documents and read them carefully - they're there to
help you.
