floppy too small for boot image

[Jim(deprecated)]

Hi,
I would like to install Fedora 1 on my laptop & I have to boot from my floppy. The iso boot image is 1.44 for floppies. When I format my floppy it only holds 1.38 . With Windows the actual floppy size after full formating is 1.38. Could any one assist with getting the boot image on to a floppy so I can install Fedora 1. The file system on my hard drive is vfat (ie just the file system no operating system).
Thanks,
Jim

not for fc1 but yes too big for fc2 .....and you dont need a floppy to install fc1 you can install from cd #1

There is no way to install FC2 from a floppy drive. There are some alternatives.....

You could boot from Smart Boot Manager. Its floppy based, but gives you the option to boot from cd, even on a PC that does not boot from CD.
