installing linux (BIOS doesnt support bootable cd)

[neil100]

I want to know how to create a bootable floppy disk that boots the mandrake 10.1 CD ROM. I know its probably simple but can someone instruct me. THanks

For creating a mandrake/mandriva-specific boot floppy, check their site.

Another option would be to try Smart Boot Manager, and see if you can boot the cd from within this boot loader. I have had varied success with this over the last few months.
