You didn't understand what I said.

The xosl install that I have runs off a floppy diskette which has been

+  Do you have a step-by-step description of how to create such floppy, please?

+(1st problem is: what do you mean by 'formatted to PC DOS'?

+ Exactly that, formatted with PC Dos boot on it. I don't think that + you can buy PC Dos anymore. You can get freedos boot disk.
+ Even a DRDOS, win 95 or win 98 boot disket would work.
+
+ They don't seem to have a boot disk with the new freedos 1.1, If you + have a small partition you can install freedos on it.

+   Write a disk image to the floppy?
+   Presumably not simply --> FAT32, as the disk will be booted.

+
+ Slackware provides programs to do that, some that run under dos, + windows and Linux
+
+ You don't have FAT32 on a floppy, it's too small, its FAT16.

+

+   What files need to be found and put on the floppy? Where from?)

+
+ For boot the minimum number of files. On PC DOS there is some hidden + files and command.com
+ With a minimum number of files you can still have room for a backup + of the MBR. With a win 95 boot that should be possible also.
+ It gets too big with a win98 boot. Ideally you would have a + partition with freedos and a boot disk in case the MBR gets whacked.
+ Your freedos partition needs to be less 2G or smaller.
+
+ On my computer I first partitioned the disk with fdisk with a SuSE + boot CD. I then installed free dos
