Old computers , like my DellD610 will not boot from USB, but will boot
from a CD or DVD OR and external floppy disc.
You can write CD with Linux image to simulate a floppy disc. See how
Knoppix does it , when old machines will not boot from CD, thus CD
simulates a floppy disc and then passes to live CD mode.
Only use in anger was a long time ago to get into a server at work that
would only boot from floppy disc. (I have forgotten details).
