Thanks but i already have 20.4 GB hdd so it's
ok.
so u r saying i don't need the lizard installation
diskettes? but i don't have a cd-r. and don't be
jealous of my 20.4 gig cuz i got it from the money i
have been saving for months. what i mean is, i don't
have money even to go to a computer shop and give them
that little money to have an iso burned to a cd.
By the way, of course i know u can't boot from
iso :� . i burned it to my hdd, then copied the
contents of it to a folder. all that 650 MB. -BUT- i
created the installation diskettes ,using the -virtual
cd rom, and NOT from the folder i copied the install
content. now u'll say go and create it from that
folder u copied it to,and then try again. But that
folder does not autorun naturally. and that lizard
install is not an exe so that i could launch it from
the folder.
So, i want to install it from the folder. and
from what u say it is possible to install without the
lizard diskettes. So how can i do that?
PS: i have 1 primary ,3 logical drives. win98 and win
2k are installed at 2. so 2 are free.Win98 and win 2k
are installed on logical drives. And surely i want to
install Caldera to the primary drive. so why i said
this,is,if something that would be a risk that it
could overwrite my data, drop it. cuz i don't have
data on primary. just boot content u know.
PPS: PLEASE help cuz noone where i live knows Linux or
so.
PPPS:i used to log on BBSes so i got that quote from
there ;) u seem to be a wolf, by the way u answer. an
answer under each paragraph ;) take care.
