FC2 and FC3 are based on the 2.6 kernel, which will not conveniently fit 
on a floppy disk. So installation from floppy disk is no longer 
supported. Since the purpose of the dosutils utilities was to write the 
installer floppy disk images, there is no longer any point including them.

The best way to install FC2 or FC3 will depend on the hardware you have, 
what is already installed on the computer (if anything), and what 
devices the computer can boot from.
