College over Win98!! Help!
I recenly downloaded CollegeLinux. I burned the ISO on a CD and i want to install it on my other computer. It is currently running windows 98. I cant get the computer to boot from the CD. I then tried it on my Windows Xp computer and it says Press enter to boot from CD. It works on my Windows Xp computer but how do i get it to work on my Windows 98? I made a boot disk but how to i start the setup in DOS when using the boot disk. In other words... How do I install Linux over top of Windows 98??
Thanks for reading!  |

I haven't had the problem you are having. I have never installed Linux from a disk but I think if you put the cd in and the boot disk, and restart your computer, the boot disk will begin the install and then go to the cd to complete it.

Ouch. Don't know if I would have worded it quite like that, especially if I've never tried it before. |
