Other Help Topics :: Getting CD to boot via floppy?

try booting "dsl failsafe"

just don't do a HD install untill you work out your probelms.

Try this:

Copy the contents of your CDROM (IE: the \KNOPPIX folder) to your C:\ drive so that you have "C:\knoppix" and the files.

Then use the boot floppy. It will detect your DOS/Win95/98/ME partition as if it were a CDROM drive.
