 the Sugar on a Stick page gives a link to a product that might enable us
 to start a boot from a Floppy.

 You can also use the "PLoP Boot Manager" to create a boot floppy for
 machines without the ability to boot from CD or USB, see:

 This would be very useful.  The problem with CDs is that you have to have
 the computer on to get the CD Drawer open, then reboot it, making it
 annoying.  A Floppy would be much easier for the school to use.

 This ticket is a request to create a Floppy Boot Helper image that works
 with SoaS Fedora
