Hi David,

Looking at my liberation-respin1-binary-i386-1.iso loop-mounted I can 
see that there is a file called 'bootdisk.img' in the images directory. 
If this is like any previous redhat released isos - I would say that is 
the image you can use with 'dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0' to get a 
bootable floppy ...

Hope that helps
