There's an interesting story there for folks with laptops that lack a floppy
AND lack Windows :-)
Thanks to a tip from a friend I found I was able to make a bootable CD with a
Windows 98 emergency diskette image on it. IIRC the trick was using mkisofs
in El Torito mode (-b). This boots into DOS, I can then swap out that boot
CD with another CDR with the Dell BIOS update image in it, which can run from
DOS.
