I'm new to Linux and I have an older Laptop that I want to put DSL on
It is currently running Win98
the CDROM isn't bootable
I created a floppy boot disk but it can't find the cdrom when I boot from it
Should I format the HD first?
I've looked through the other posts and they don't really have what I need
Basically some step by step instructions would be nice
thanks

Copy the \KNOPPIX directory on your CDROM over to the C:\KNOPPIX directory in Windows98.

Then boot with your floppy and it will find the files on your hard disk and act like it was a CDROM drive.
