I saw what seemed to be a floppy image for download
but it wouldn't write with rawrite, so maybe it wasn't
actually an image. I'd like to use rdesktop instead of
buying Windows XP licenses so that we can run
Windows 95 on a bunch of old Pentium 100's. They
have hard drives, so that's not a problem, but there
doesn't seem to be a quick easy way to boot from floppy
or hard drive to run rdesktop to connect to a Windows
2000 terminal server.

    That won't save on licenses, unless you already have enough
    Windows 2000 licenses to go around.
    I mention this just in case you haven't yet discovered this
    nasty detail of Windows Terminal Server licensing: each
    client must have a client access license, which pretty much
    equates to a Windows 2000 license (at least for companies
    and organisations that buy licenses via Microsoft Open
    License Plan or Microsoft Select license scheme).
    It can save on client PC hardware costs and makes things
    easier to manage, though.
    I hope this helps!

    use winimage if you cant get rawrite to work.

    You would still need to buy Terminal server licenses.

    it seems there is a -l options for rdeskop that will not get a
    license from the MS license server...
    if dats the case...can we conclude that no license is needed?
