Hi, i've been reading these forums for a bit now and i've decided it is time i ask. ive had linux up and running on desktops on and off for the past 6 years but all of them have had a floppy drive.
Unfortunatly my laptop doesn't. I am planning on doing a HD install of knoppix (or debian full) of the laptop but i do not want lilo (or other loader) on the MBR. does anyone know if it is possible to make a boot floppy out of a USB thumb drive? or a CD?
i have read a bit about isolinux/syslinux but this seems like a complicated way to do this.

If anyone has any tips please let me know.
(if its using iso/syslinux please, instructions hehe)
