Hi,
I'd like to install Linux on my system which already runs win98. Now, I'm quite an amateur at installing OS so please just correct me if i'm wrong: Do I simply have to download Linux and save it on a CD in order to install it from DOS on my D: drive (it's a partition)? and if so, what are the correct command I have to use to install Linux properly? I'm sorry to ask jsut a basic question but I guess I need to learn this at least once.... thanks in advance Cheers!
