Hello,

1. be sure to get the right floppy images, should be x86-32/i386
2. check the MD5 sum of each file downloaded
3. use dd to copy the .img to the mediums
4. check the MD5 sum of each floppy created
5. connect the PC to i-net
6. insert boot floppy
7. boot the PC
8. reply to each question to get the stuff installed and updated
