OK, Thanks for your reply. As you say, This floopy boot disk is made in linux. But in my machine, there is no linux environment but only windows. So I still don't know how to make a floopy boot disk in windows environment. Some good advice about it? ======= 2005-10-24 21:06:32 in your mail =======

To save space opn the media. Many systems nowadays don't even have a floppy drive.
There are instructions for building boot floppies, in the commercial package. From /boot/README
"Creating SUSE LINUX 10.0 Boot Disks ----------------------------------
The boot files are split across several floppy disks.
To create boot disks, run 'mkbootdisk' (the program is in this directory) on a Linux system:
1. Mount CD1 or DVD (e.g. to /media/cdrom).
2. Run /media/cdrom/boot/mkbootdisk /media/cdrom
to create boot disk image files bootdisk1 - bootdiskN.
3. Write these image files to floppies, using e.g.
dd if=bootdisk1 of=/dev/fd0
(and bootdisk2 - bootdiskN accordingly).
4. A short usage summary of 'mkbootdisk' gives
mkbootdisk --help"
