Trying to install but need to get the boot disks for Ver. 5.2 - I have the two installation CD's (Disk 1 and 2) plus a third Apps cd... Where can I go to get boot disks made - so I can install?!

Doesn't it make a boot disk for you at the end of the installation?

6.2 does.

Search the cds for rawrite.exe or rawrite2.exe .At the same directory there should be .img files which are images for creating the floppies.

Anyway read the readme txt/html file on the root of the first cd.It should have step-by step instructions how to create the bootdisks

You could always use the autoboot command from the dosutils directory on the cdrom and not even use the boot disks.

Use a standard msdos boot disk with cdrom driver and change to the cdrom drive.
