how do i kick start mandrake 9.1. I have a win2k machine with capable of booting to dos prompt but no floppy and no cd rom. I copied all the mandrake files to my hd, however, mandrake doesn't come with lilo, it offeres an autorun win32 exe which merely restarts my machine into win2k again....i just need to get to the installer thats all!!!!
