You are untarring the the tarfile to the floppy, right?
You need to create a floppy, format it (ext2 or dos file system should 
work) and untar the tarfile. You should end up with a disk containing:
anaconda   image.py         laptop.py    server.py        workstation.py
comps      installclasses   lowmem.py    upgradeclass.py
custom.py  installclass.py  reconfig.py  upgradeonly.py

You could also just download the contents of the images-0.7.0 directory 
to disk.
