Steps: Overview:

 1. -Download winimage from

      http://www.winimage.com

 2. -Install the program

     1. click on winima70.exe

     2. and follow the steps of the wizard

 3. -select from menu option 'File'

     1. -Select from list 'Open'

     2. -Browse to the .img file

 4. -Make sure an empty floppy disk is in your floppy
     disk drive

 5. -Select from menu option 'Disk'

     1. -Select from list 'Format and write disk'

 6. -this will start writing the content of the .img
     file to your floppy disk

 7. -when finished this will have created a boot floppy

 8. -to use this boot floppy, put it in your computer
     and restart your computer.

     1. make sure the BIOS starts the computer from
        floppy disk first

        (you set that at the startup of your computer.
          e.g. by pressing <F2>,
          but this depends on your computer,
          (look for the 'boot' options in your BIOS
           and save the result))

     2. This boot floppy might further start e.g. Linux from an USB
        stick (like Feather Linux)
