Hi, Erik: You can boot from a special floppy. The images for creating the bootable floppy are on the first CD ROM in the /images directory. The tools you can use to create the bootable floppy are in a directory on the first CD ROM called /dosutils. The image you need to use is probably boot.img. To be sure, you might want to follow our guide on installation available at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask for help.

Note that this machine's BIOS does support booting off the CD. Do any of you have any suggestions? BC I'm anxious to get Linux on this box and totally do away with the NTFS filesystem which presently occupies one of the two HD's. The second is just a standard FAT filesystem. This is a 166MHZ box with 64MB of RAM and one 1.6 and one 2.6GZ HD. Thanks for any help that anyone of you could provide. This also has an internal DoubleTalk PC coard. To write the ISO's, I used EZ CD Creator under Windblows. > --Erik > > God Bless, > Erik > <eheil at rcn.com> > -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
