Well, after reading those unintelligible instructions, he asked where
to get ISOs. My guess is he understood since his only question was
'where'? Recap:

1. Download the 2 ISOs (or copy from CDROM with dd, but why?)
   Partition needs to have ~1.5G free.
2. Look to see what partition they are on (eg /dev/hda1). 
3. Boot from boot disk, and select harddisk install. 
4. When installer asks where, tell it where you left them (eg
   /dev/hda1).

All this is in the RELEASE-NOTES or README on first disk, with a
little extraneous verbiage. Probably with instructions on making the
boot disk (which he obviously had alread).
