Download a copy of Winimage, it's a small program that can open .ISO files and allow you to extract all/any file that you wish. It also will open and write to floppy .IMG files, which are the bootfloppy images. This was how I installed Debian on my Libretto, extract all the files from the cd's into one partition, boot the windows partition in to DOS, and then run the HD install script, hey presto, the worlds smallest unix workstation !
