Make the boot floppy disk. On the first CD is a directory called "images" and you use the cdrom.img file. Go into the this directory and use the following command in linux: # dd if=cdrom.img of=/dev/fd0 For further info see the file on the first CD called "install.htm". It also explains how to make the boot disk from Windows or DOS. Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today
