Dos and CD

[BlackMan890]

Hi guys

I have hera a 100 mHz computer with 32 Mb ram which i think is very good, i want to install linux on it, but it doesnt seem to work for me.

The Bios doesn't support CD drive but i was told that i can get a boot-disk that installs a driver for the DOS.

Does anyone here know about anything like that, that works?

Please let me know so that i can set-up a linux right away

Bootdisk.com should have what you want, grab the DOS/Windows9X/Me/NT/2K/XP one, it should have generic CDROM drivers that will work.

Or if you have XP I believe it will make one that will load generic drivers too, cant remember lol.

But which bootdisk should i get?

It is a long disk :-/

What i was thinking is like i boot from a disk that install's the driver, and then i install linux from a CD.

Installing a CD-ROM driver for DOS won't help you get Linux installed, it'll just let you boot to a DOS command prompt with CD-ROM support.
Check your Linux CD or ftp site for a /boot, /dos, or /dosutils directory. You'll find a floppy boot disk image and a disk-writing utility. Use that boot disk to start the installation.
