How do I make bootable LS-120 disks?

The Linux Bootdisk HOWTO
Since I don't have an LS-120 drive, the following information is summarized from information provided by Dave Cinege from the Linux Router Project. The LS-120 is an IDE floppy drive. It is compatible with both standard 3.5" disks and the new 120MB disks. As of Linux v2.0.31 there is full support. To be able to boot from these you must have a BIOS that specifically allows the LS-120 to be treated as drive 0 (whereas IDE devices normally start at 80).

I want to make my USB flash drive bootable, what steps are required for this process?

Removable Media Recovery Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Most laptops now use lithium ion (LiIon) batteries. LiIons should be managed differently from the NiCad or NiMH batteries used in older laptops. In particular, LiIons should not be run all the way down to prevent "memory effect". First, they don't have a memory effect, and second, running them down tends to reduce their capacity. If the laptop does not need the battery it should be run to about 40% charge and stored in a cool place.
