If your system does not support booting off a CD-ROM, you can easily make
a boot disk that will do the exact same thing. To make your boot disk,
boot your computer and insert your Mandrake CD-ROM. Insert a blank floppy
into the floppy drive and type "X:\dosutils\rawrite" (without the quotes
and X: being your CD-ROM drive letter). When asked which image to use type
"X:\images\boot.img" (without the quotes and X: being your CD-ROM drive
letter) This will make the boot disk that you can use to start the install
package.
