Are there any boot floppy images to load Gentoo 2005.1

At the website I couldn't find any

Are you taking like Live CD or install? I dont beleive they made any floppy installs because you would need like 15 to get the minimal installation onto a floppy, so they just went with a cd.

Install and Slackware and Debian can boot from floppies

Well, then, as far as I know, no one in the Gentoo community has made a floppy. You probably have to make 1 yourself if you want, then you can test it. Gentoo was made to be a LiveCD distro, so idk if it would work.

I stand corrected.

The problem with this site http://glbf.sourceforge.net/index.php

is they aren't working on it any more

That ain't a problem, the livecd is just used to format disks, mount disks and download two files anyway. Basicly, you only need ftp, mount and a formatted drive (and offcourse handbook) to complete a gentoo install. Really, even knoppix can be used. Or a suse livecd if you have that, would probably work just as well.

Suse has floppy boots and I can't boot it with live cds at all and it doesn't have internet

..Beacause you don't have a CD-drive, or because it won't boot the livecd? If it's the last, you can probably spesify it in the bios.
