right click (ie. click with the right mouse button instead of the left
one). Then choose "Save as..." or similar ("Save link as..." in Firefox).
Save it to a known location.

Then you have to copy the image to a floppy disk. Follow the instructions
on this page: http://www.linuxmigration.com/quickref/install/media.html
It refers to Red Hat but just use your bootfloppy.img file in place of the
filename it cites. Specifically, follow the instructions in "Make a boot
floppy on a MS-Windows machine" if you are on Windows. Or follow the
instructions in the section "Make a boot floppy on a Linux machine" if you
are on Linux. Of course, don't download the image files they talk about
since you already have one.
