Which version of Linux are you trying to install? My only experience is with
RedHat and Mandrake (which is RedHat with some modifications/add-ons.)
RedHat 5.x required a supplementary disk to install. You should, on that CD,
have a directory called "images." Look in there to see if there isn't a
"suppdisk.img" or something like that. If there is, you'll need to get the
"rawrite" program and a blank floppy and make the supp disk.
