On my current Debian cd there is a directory called install. in this directory are files that can be copied to a dos partition and can boot linux with no cd. I copied boot.bat, loadlin.exe, root.bin, and linux to the dos drive. I also had to copy the drv1440.bin file to the dos drive since I need drivers for my proprietary cdrom drive to complete the installation from cd. I put everything into a directory named debian, then type boot. Boot windows 95. mkdir c:\debian copy (from cdrom/install) boot.bat loadlin.exe root.bin linux (to) c:\debian reboot to dos cd c:\debian boot > > thanks, > > allan bart > > > > == > Allan W.
