How to install linux form dos?

Hmmm. I've got a distro of linux that didn't come with an ISO. I read that it can be installed through DOS if the files are on your harddrive (which they are). How do I go about doing this? And ideas?

Are you trying to install Lindows?

Hey, a Gentoo Addict. I love Gentoo. To bad I never used it. LOL

Looks like he found your problem. Go through the link, I saw some information on "how to in dos".
