Depends what you're after. If you're trying to get Linux up and running when MS has trashed your MBR then get a prebuilt kernel from somewhere and dd if=kernel of=/dev/fd0 rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda1 (or wherever your root partition is). Although this does rather require a Linux machine up and running. Alternatively, if you want a "full" Linux distro, try getting Tom's root and boot, install it onto a floppy and reboot.
