Installing Linux on a laptop

Exactly. That second thing you said there. I need to put something on a floppy (it can see the floppy) that says "Hey Mr Computer I am going to put in the CD ROm drive now and some CD's for you to install. Have a nice day." I guess that's a "boot" disk but when I try to google different things to try and find such a disk I get a bunch of jargon I don't understand.
