I don't know if this is even the proper place for my issue, but since
the boot floppies that I have downloaded are syslinux based.
I have a 97 vintage Hitachi laptop, and it won't boot newer CDs. It
will, however, boot a Debian 2.1 CD. As we know, that version is quite
old, and it booted off the second CD, not the first.
What I want/need to know, is there a reasonable way for a complete
newbie to this sort of thing to build a bootable CD with a newer
kernel, etc.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Mostly Debian, but now
I'm messing around with
Gentoo. Humm, I kind of
like it too.
