If the CD is un-bootable then you will need to boot dos to access the cd.
You will then need to create a boot disk. Once you have the cd accessible,
grab a blank floppy and go to the dosutils directory and run the file called
rawrite.exe. The image file it wants is in d:\images\boot.img (if "D" is
not your CDROM in dos then replace with the correct letter) The program
will create a bootable floppy for the Linux-Mandrake installation program.
Install and enjoy..
