Hi Group,
   I hope somebody can point me to a better place if this is not the 
appropreate ng to discauss this question.

    I got the redhat linux 5.2 installation guide with the free CD from 
linuxmall.com.  Soon I realize I need the boot discatte, or run autoboot at 
cd-rom.  However, at dos prompt the machine can't recognize d drive.  I 
suppose I need some driver.  However this is school's box I'm messing 
around.  I have absolutely no idea where to start.

    I suppose I can get a bootdisk from a new linux distro (openLinux2.2 is 
cheap) or get a linux 5.2 box from ebay.  Any other recommendation?  Any 
program that can format a floppy disk in linux format and make a linux 
bootdisk from the dos prompt?

    Any input is greatly apprecated.
                        CY
