I think I am missing something. I followed these steps;
4.5 Floppy Install
This method allows you to install VectorLinux using the VL CD (any edition) and two floppy disks. You may have to use this method if the target computer cannot boot from the CD (especially on older laptops). We assume that you already have the VectorLinux CD prepared and ready. You may use it to create the floppies on another Windows or a Linux host. Preparation on a Windows HOST is as follow:
* Insert the CD into the drive, assumed to be drive D:
* Launch a dos prompt
* Insert blank floppy #1, enter this command:
cd D:\install\rawrite
rawrite
Enter source file name: D:\install\floppy\bare.i
Enter destination drive: A
The bare.i is an kernel image file that supports IDE controller. If you have SCSI controller, use the scsi.s instead.
* Take out floppy #1, Insert floopy #2, enter this command:
rawrite
Enter source file name: D:\install\floppy\rootdisk.img
Enter destination drive: A
I get an error because the is no file bare.i in \install\floppy. So i read the read me on the CD (5.8 standard)
!!! Vector Linux Floppy Images
------------------------------
This directory contains floppy disk image that can be raw-written
into a floppy disk. You need two images:
* bootdisk.img : linux kernel for booting
* rootdisk.img : Vector Linux generic install
The standard bootdisk image work for computer with IDE controller.
If you need other than those, you may get more from Slackware CDROM
or FTP site under /bootdisks directory, for example:
* bare.i : kernel with IDE capability.
* sata.s : kernal with IDE+SATA capability.
* scsi.s : kernel with IDE+SCSI capability.

Except there is no bootdisk.img file either. The only file in \install\floppy is rootdisk.img and a readme file. Do I need to DL these files from some ware else? Maybe there is an updated floppy install direction some ware.
